I’m looking to buy ups as I have few power outage (last between 1 to 5 seconds max) where I live but I have never used one so don’t know what specs should I check for

Ideally I will plug my 3d printer (about 100-160w when printing), a pi 4 with nvme drive (no idea of wattage) and a mini pc with n100 processor (around 10-20W)

Thanks for your advices

    even though i think that the psu of the 3d printer might get you over the switching time offline usv’s have, i’d go with an online usv (voltage & freqency independent)
    one missed step and your print might be gone.

    depending on your outages you might go for a smaller battery, because you’ll have to replace them more often with an online usv.

      First time I heard of online usv (also English isn’t my main language), will have to check this out

        mine neither.
        that’s why i wrote usv, it’s the german equivalent.

        i meant online ups.
