Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BPC Energy PO1000 is number eight in our best UPS battery backup guide. The name sells it as a 1000VA unit, and the spec table on the same page gives Maximum Power as 600 Watts, Output Wattage 600 and Wattage 600 — the big VA number is about 1.7 times the watt figure. The listing also describes 8 outlets, a 6-hour battery charge time, 230 Volts AC input and 240 Volts output.
Two sets of numbers in the same listing do not match. Runtime is given twice: 'Battery Average Life' says 20 minutes and 'Runtime' says 10 minutes. The rating line says 4.0 from 58 reviews, while the star breakdown beside it adds up to 100 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as published, not from our own testing.
