If you look at the specs, I think the BackUPS has a much shorter runtime at a given load compared to the SmartUPS models. I.e. they're meant to run your home systesm through a short outage, not a longer one. We used to use the Matrix 5000 UPSes at a former job with the extended battery packs, just so we could run for 30-45 minutes at a time if need be. Didn't always make it, esp when it took 15 minutes to shut everything down...
