Bought a BackUps ES 350

that is too small for PC. well if power fails and batteries are now near dead let them charge back up. or buy a real UPS. a PC and need 150 watts to do graphic (with monitor more) so 350watt and 300watt load is fail. your battery has a short run time. super bad that. to pick a UPS besides watts (1000w is best) we ask 2 questions 1: how long does my towns power go out for, calif weeks, or in my town 30mins, in rolling blackouts, summer (HVAC caused) or how long can you tolerate the lost of power ? 30minutes is a good starting point the maker APC tells you what UPS fits that profile. for sure. all UPS makers do every one. or buy 2 UPS 500w one each for 2 PCs/ your UPS is toy grade,. cheap is almost never best. do run times first. at at least 100watts per PC, if PC does graphic 3d , 100 is not enough unless you use GTX1650 card. GPU. The GPU like that is 75watts alone see., NO PC told. run time is very important. and when power fails shut down the PC.s if you must not , like POS sales use, then runtime is extremely important. one more factor is if power fails all the time and long that means small batteries go bad faster. lots faster so the cure is larger batteries. 1000w UPS is what I think you need no PC told at all. unless is two 25 watt laptops,???????
