How many hours will a 48 V Battery Backup - 92 amp Hours give you and what could this run?

Thanks

It depends on the load on the UPS?

Amp Hour = The amount of electrical current which flows in an hour.

If, as an example, your computer uses 300watts then divide that by volts to get amps. In this example that would be 300w / 48v = 6amps, so 6 amps goes into 93 15.5 times. So you will get 15 and a half hours, but in reality you would want recharge long before that otherwise you will shorten the batteries life.

As a UPS it will have an inverter to push the voltage up.
