The alarm 'mode' can be set via the power button. **Q: How long will this product power my system when the power goes out?** A: The runtime of a battery backup will vary based on the amount of power required by the devices plugged into the battery backup outlets. APC's PowerChute Software details 'Estimated Battery Time' based on the power-draw of your connected devices. **Q: What do I do if my battery backup is not providing the expected backup time?** A: Batteries require recharging after extended outages and can wear faster when put into service without proper recharging or when operated at elevated temperatures. **Q: Will the USB Ports on this battery backup continue to charge devices when the power goes out?** A: Yes, as long as there is battery power in the battery backup, the USB Ports will actively power your Smartphone and other USB-charged devices. **Q: After a prolonged power outage, will this battery backup automatically turn back on once utility power resumes?** A: Yes, the battery backup will automatically turn back on after utility power resumes and the internal battery will begin recharging. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS 1200VA Line Interactive UPS Battery Backup, BVK1200M2 Backup Battery with AVR, 2 USB Charging Ports (Type C/Type A), Back-UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply - APC UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 600VA/330 Watts Backup Battery Power Supply, BE600M1 Back-UPS with USB Charger Port - APC UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector, 425VA Backup Battery Power Supply, BE425M, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/445831177-1200va-650w-backup-battery-power-supply-for-home-office-bvk1200m2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/445831177-1200va-650w-backup-battery-power-supply-for-home-office-bvk1200m2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
