Lost power today. My toddler wanted toast during the outage so I figured I could make her some via the UPS. It made it all of 10 seconds before it was completely dead.
Edit: I turned it off immediately after we lost power so it was at about 95% capacity. This also isn’t your average workstation, it’s got a threadripper and a 4080 in it. That being said it wasn’t doing anything intensive.
It’s also a monster UPS.
Edit2: its not a TI obviously. I’ve lost my mind attempting to reason with a 2 year old about why she got no toast for hours.

UPS are not really designed to be used like that. They’re for making sure sensitive electronics don’t suffer random surges or power drops from the outlet, and giving you enough time to properly save your work and shut down your pc/laptop etc.
Also, modern computers sip power unless your actively gaming on them. Toasters need massive power in comparison
