Yeah 5 minutes sounds pretty weak. I strive for 20 minutes + on servers and desktops. Luckily most of my users have laptops, which has the bonus of already having batteries :)

Wax on....wax off... :-) Yeah, I'd have them order a new UPS too, probably... If the existing UPS didn't last 5 minutes, then he must have a massive PC, an OLD UPS, a basically dead battery, or the software is set to shut the system down prematurely.... We consistently get 20 minutes of runtime (or more) from a BackUPS 750 ES for our desktop PCs...that model is a couple of years old too...and they cost less than $100... Jonathan L.

After all, all you got to do is plug it in and walk away (could install the software if he asks nicely).

This dork is complaining about a machine going down because the power went out for 5 minutes. The UPS is meant for power flickers. Come on man, our power company, Florida Power and Light, ie, FPL, is well known to be Frequent Power Loss. I hate Mondays. Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.
