I don't have a run-time calculator but: It's a really long time...A= W/V .4mw/120V = .000000333333333 A
Watts = .4
Volts = 120
AMPS = .000000333333333
What only draws .4 mw that you want to protect on UPS? Just curious...
hope this helps a bit, sorry, I don't have formula for runtime extraction.

A:
1) All ifo you need on (you only list 350VA so I am assuming here):http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BK350&tab=documentation
2) Go to to the link above which lists manuals for APC Back-Ups BK 350/500 and APC Back-Ups CS 350/500 (they both read the same). Open either manual, scroll down the right side 'til you see ORDER REPLACEMENT BATTERY: last line says: When ordering, please specify Battery Cartridge RBC2. You can order through APC dealers or direct: 800-800-4272
3) Yes, you can replace battery plan on this every 4-6 years. Depends on how often you discharge your batteries; Replacement is very simple very simple...follow instructions in the guide. Probably should have 1 Standard, 1 Phillips #2 screwdriver and a pair of standard or short needle nose pliers (handles insulated). Screwdrivers are just to get the case apart, needle nose pliers are helpful gripping the "stake-on" connectors that clip onto the battery contacts.
Good luck hope this helps.

Thank you for inquiry. Yes the unit would come with a $75,000 equipment protection policy. Just note to be fully protected you would need to have the data lines protected that are running into the equipment too since a surge can come threw those as well. Please do not hesitate to contact an APCbySchneider support team if you need any further assistance. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272.by

Q:
My Back-ups 650 works fine on the surge side but the backup side does not give any power. Why?by

Answers
A:
Milt,1) This is the APC User Manual and Specifications site for the Back-Ups 650 (and ES 650) unit. Just Google "Manuals specifications for Back-Ups 650". Also, in case all else fails - The Number for APC CUSTOMER CARE (Also known as Schneider Electric the past 5 years or so): 800-800-4272.
2) First, I have used and placed a dozen or so of these type units over the past 10 years. I am now an IT manager/network engineer of about 44 years in this business. even after 44 years, I still only know a fraction of what I'd like to. Will give this my best shot: The user guide under STATUS INDICATORS makes reference to "...power only delivered from the BATTERY LOAD outlets..." and CHECK IF BATTERY LOW IS INDICATED (RAPIDLY FLASHING)? IF SO, REPLACE BATTERY PACK: PART # RBC17 - NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BACK-UPS ES 650, DO NOT ORDER THIS UNTIL YOU CALL APC CUSTOMER CARE AND CONFIRM WITH THEM THAT THE RBC17 IS CORRECT FOR THE PLAIN VANILLA BACK-UPS 650 ALSO.
3) BOTTOM LINE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF LOSING POWER ON ONE SIDE OF OUTLETS. IT COULD BE THOUGH THAT APC DESIGNED IT THIS WAY THAT IF POWER RESERVE IS LOW, THE SYSTEM CUTS OF POWER TO THE SURGE PROTECTED SIDE IN ORDER TO CONSERVE POWER FOR BATTERY DELIVERY. HOW OLD IS THIS UNIT? LAST APC AT HOME LASTED ME 8 YEARS, THOUGH RUN TIME WAS FALLING OFF THOSE LAST 2 YEARS...IT MAY BE TIME TO REPLACE BATTERY, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS BEEPING ON A REGULAR BASIS.
HOPE THIS HELPS, BEST LUCK AND SORRY IF I DID NOT HELP.

A:
The battery in your unit may be discharged. Connect the Back-UPS to utility power and allowthe battery to recharge for eight hours. If this does not solve the issue, run a self test to see if the internal battery in the unit needs to be replaced. Our batteries are rated to last for 3-5 years on average.

These devices do not have electromagnetic components which produce EM fields. You would be worse off sleeping by your refrigerator.You can buy an inexpensive em tester on Amazon if you are concerned about stuff like this.

Thank you for you inquiry. The difference between the 2 is the 700 would support more equipment since it is a larger UPS. Unfortunately the 350 does not have a line for the telephone connection. It would only have a RJ-45 port on which would support an Ethernet cable.by

Thank you for inquiry. This UPS should work with the medicine dispenser. I would just confirm that the medicine dispenser doesn't draw over 200 watts of power so the UPS doesn't become overloaded. The runtime would depend on how much the power the device draws. At full load (200 watts) the UPS will provide 1 minute of runtime. At half load (100 watts) it will provide 6 minutes of runtime. One the power goes back on the UPS will begin to charge the battery back up to full charge. If the UPS were to completely drain during the power outage, once power is restored the UPS will begin to charge the batteries. Once the battery gets to around 20% the UPS will power back on.by
