EATON El650Usbiec Ellipse Eco 650 Usb Iec Ups, 81mm x 263mm x 235mm, Zwart

Funktioniert 1A mit Synology Discstation und Homeassistant.

I am using the Eaton Ellipse Eco 650 USB IEC UPS to support two reasonably powerful PC's in a home office. I used a cheap13amp plug power meter to check the power consumption before ordering; mine worked out around 150 watts per PC, so well within the 400 watt rating with both running.Essentially its plug in and go, but note that the IEC version comes with two IEC extension leads (e.g. for PC and monitor) but no mains to IEC lead. For multiple devices you need an IEC socket strip.In operation it is almost silent, and works perfectly well. The USB version is well worth having (if being used with a PC) as via the Eaton software you can configure auto power down times and monitor battery status etc. etc.Run time with 100 % battery is around 14 minutes with one PC (150 watts) running. I have the UPS set to shutdown the PC after 2 minutes if mains power fails. On mains failure it cuts in instantly, the PC just keeps running and not a flicker on the monitor.The downloadable Eaton UPS Companion software runs perfectly well (Windows 11) and is easy to use.It has a useful two year warranty (including the battery) and a UK based support office.Minor downsides are:Long battery recharge times, close to 24 hours from flat.When powered up, but not active (just battery charging) it draws 5 watts from the mains, even when the battery is fully charged (so not very ECO in these high energy cost times) so best turned off from the mains socket when the battery is fully charged. When charging a flat battery, power draw is about 15 watts.Minimal documentation, for example although it tells you from where to download the Eaton software, it does not tell which software to use ! there are multiple software packages covering the whole range of Eaton UPS types and installations available. You need the simple 'UPS Companion' for a typical Home Office installation.No mains input cable is supplied (easy to source if you don't have one).The supplied USB lead is rather cheap and nasty, but does work.Overall I can recommend this product, it's compact, and does what it says 'on the tin'.

This was primarily bought to protect a Synology NAS from unexpected breaks in power; they don't suffer power loss well, and an 'intelligent' UPS allows the NAS to either ride out a short power outage, or to have the opportunity to shut down gracefully in the event of an extended power cutTo this end, note that there are multiple models and it's crucial that you pick one with a USB socket for the whole setup to work properly. You connect the UPS to the NAS with USB cable, and then when mains power is lost, the UPS signals this information to the NAS, so it can act according to your settings. You have to set up the NAS to acknowledge the presence of a UPS. If you don't do this, or if you have no USB connection, the UPS can only act as a dumb battery back up, providing power for a certain amount of time before dying.For example, in my setup, The NAS will stay on for 10 minutes before shutting down properly.I use this with a Synology DS1520+ running 5 x 18TB Hard disks and the NAS estimates that with the Eco 650, it would last around 30 mins on battery power.There are multiple IEC sockets on the back, so you could power / protect some additional bits of kit but you must account for this when working out how long you need things to be powered for before shutting down.

Does largely what it says it does. Provides short duration backup and controlled shutdown. Software is basic, but functional. USB connection worked.However, a couple of points to note if considering buying:The leads provided assume all the equipment you have is connected via a max of four IEC sockets. I have lots more devices than that connected via an 8 way 13A board. Needed to buy a set of IEC plug/socket and wire them into the supply lead to the 13A board.While rated at 9mins backup at half load, I run it at about 1/3 rated load and get 7mins before shutdown.An annoying feature of the software is that the UPS needs to recharge above shutdown threshold before it will allow the PC to switch back on, and stay on. You therefore have to wait after the power comes back on to restart. Or pull out the USB lead.

All NAS need a UPS but you don’t really need to keep it on in case of a power failure that lasts longer that a few minutes. However short blip failures can be a disaster for your data on virtually all NAS. So as a minimum, what you want is a short term protection against power outages, that will inform your NAS something is up without you needing to install too much garbage and keep it up to date. THEN you want it to make sure your NAS turns off if the power fails for longer than the UPS can cope.This does all this right out of the box with my synology NAS (1520+) with DSM7 no extra software needed. It arrived with 80% charge so no worries about getting going and comes with two interconnect powercables and one usb info cable.For my NAS it will last about 30 mins, plenty for base protection. It can also provide two further items coverage, say router and switch, and pass through filtered power to another source.Lastly it will filter and shock protect your Ethernet source.Highly recommended at the price. It is one of the dullest purchases you will make but if you need it you will be really grateful you got it.
