laptop power question

[ghosthunter]

while on the ups topic, what does the UPS with 600va mean? since it has multiple sockets, how many laptops/desktops can it power up?

600VA roughly is 300 watts.

Typically two laptops at most for 600VA UPS. Desktop PCs, just one or if you have those ultra low power PCs, you can get two.

are these batteries sold locally? like in ace or handyman? or sa computger stores din?

^^ available locally at Ace/ Handyman but would cost higher.
Try Quiapo-Raon and Elfo-santa cruz they cost around 400-900 depending on brand just be wary about imitation panasonic brands. Some Motolite and Outlast stores carry also VRLA batteries. APC service center also sell this batteries.

UPS commonly uses 12V, capacity based from Amper-hour rating. BTW KVA is the apparent power which is converted to Watts(DC) by multiplying 0.6(common power factor).

Madali na ma-drain battery ng work laptop ko.. Dahil tag-ulan na, panahon na naman ng power outage kapag may bagyo..
Baka merong may alam na pwedeng alternative na power source (max 7-8 hours) for laptop..
Powerbank? UPS?
Yung laptop ko Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (walang natatanggal na battery), hindi pwede yung bibili extra battery.. TIA

May mabibili pa ata battery ng X1 Carbon.
Madali lang mag replace battery nyan.
Marami din sa lazada/shopee, make sure lang trusted seller at if possible, original Lenovo yung battery.

First thing's first, can't you request for a replacement laptop? If it's for work, your IT department is obligated to fix or replace it.

Otherwise, there are replacement batteries available naman: Thinkpad X1 Carbon Battery - Shop Thinkpad X1 Carbon Battery with great discounts and prices online | Lazada Philippines

To be able to use it beyond what the built-in battery's runtime can offer and especially during a prolonged outage, use a portable power station or a small generator.

my ebike has a 60v battery pack. most laptop power bricks which normally take 110-220v can be plugged into 60v DC and still work

Eligible na din ako for laptop replacement.. Kaso ang hirap kasi mag set up nung mga applications and authentication (hassle).. Bukod dun ang bulky nung new laptops na niri-release nila [emoji28] (dami reason, maarte lang pala)..
Same reason kung bakit ayaw ko bumili extra battery, dahil soon magpalit na din ako ng laptop.. Hindi lang ngayon baka Q4 pa..
Kaya naghahanap ako ng alternative, kahit up to 6 hours pede na for emergency lang..
