Post your Rigs !

Is that APC 1100 VA UPS?
How much battery backup do you get?
It used to give me about 30mins battery backup when not gaming but these days starts beeping in just 5mins
I never had much luck with any UPS I bought so far :(
My experience with UPSes (mostly APC) is that initial battery works fine, say 45 minutes. If battery backup reduces a lot, get battery replaced - should be about Rs 1500-2500 for this size, battery backup increases a lot but much below the 45 minutes we were getting earlier : say around 30-35 minutes. Official APC service is just slightly more expensive, and same results as far as I observed.
 
My PC Setup from Feb, 2020.

Many upgrades done since, will be clicking more with updated pictures soon.

Setup goals! Could you link to the clock?

Thanks man, it’s called the “Divoom TimeBox”. Available on Amazon and Flipkart, I got it 4 years back for 5400₹, now it’s still available for around 3600₹.
Also, there are newer / alternate models available, besides this they’re releasing a bigger model, picture frame sized version. You can do a lot of cool things with this, Static and Animated PixelArt displays, bluetooth, aux, radio, has a speaker, weather, temperature and when connected to the phone you get the WhatsApp/Facebook/IG logos flash display on the screen. All these fancy features but I only use it to display the clock lol.
 
Man
You should post your setup in Reddit show case in subreddit by name PC setups
This is the best setup in the whole of this forum

well mine has managed to reduce to just 10 mins in just 1 year. I have bought 3 UPS in last 10 years and experience has been horrible with all of them.
Though this one gives me enough time to wait 5 mins to see if power comes back and turn off my pc properly if not which is helpful at least
Another thing I have noticed is that even if battery drains completely it finishes charging in just about 30 mins, don't remember how it was earlier but manual says 6hrs for full charge
 
It was bought in Jan 2020
Oh then it is too soon to need a new battery. You could be overloading it - can you send all the devices you have connected to it ? Components of PC, and other devices. You would know approximate power consumption of those devices, or others here might help. If you are overloading it, you may face such problems.

If load is high, and you cannot upgrade your UPS, keep only important stuff connected to UPS battery backup port. Connect sensitive electronics like monitor, speaker etc. to surge protection port of UPS. And connect other stuff like chargers etc. directly to mains bypassing UPS.

No load is definitely not above because it starts beeping when that happens

Thanks! I have posted there like a couple of times 1-2 years ago. Now that sub has over 100k Redditor’s, any post will instantly get attacked upon or something like that. The sub is dominated by teenagers and irritating people of-lately. Let’s see, may post after I get some new setup photos clicked.
