That "AVR" (active voltage regulation) feature is actually pretty important. It means that the UPS can adjust the voltage when it's slightly off-spec, without needing to switch to battery mode. If it's too far off it will still use battery though.
Generically this is called a "line interactive" UPS.
I have the 725VA version of the Back-UPS ES you showed in the beginning. Those don't have AVR. They're strictly "standby" units, meaning they only switch battery on/off, no minor adjustments.
I use a much older model than your first unit, a APC ES BE350u (since 2002). The unit still works perfectly, just replaced the battery in it (rbc35 7ah). Mine runs my desktop for a little over 1 min, which isn't much of a concern since I have a generator. If I were to get a new ups, it would have to be the xantrex power source 400, which is only a 400 watt ups. The reason I want that unit is because of the 40 ah AGM battery in it. That battery will run my desktop for about 4 hours. Great vid!
Just returning this APC 1300AV for the CyberPower 1350PFCLCD, loving the CyberPower, smaller, more powerful, 2x usb charging in the front LCD.

that has to be a fairly stupid question, but do appliances connected to surge-protection-only still add up to total UPS watts load?
