gooner4life Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Guys can you tell me which UPS to buy for the xbox 360 and my projection tv? The light goes off frequently in faridabad and I am worried for my xbox as it has got only one months warranty left. Please also tell the price of the ups.

indyaan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I have been using UPS of powersafe for my office.. it handles around 3 machines (2 TFT 17" and one 17" CRT) for approximately 4 hours of time.. comes with 2 batteries.. I paid around 40K for the same... but I am not sure whether it will work for the TV or not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngcoders Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 You will have to know how much wattage ur TV + XBOX are using ... then buy a ups . U will atleast need a double battery UPS ... For me its a cheap 800 VA Microtek UPS ( Rs 2200 ) ... gives around 500 Watts ... runs XBOX + Sharp HDTV + other stuff like tata sky etc ... just fine.

lastAvenger Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 useless imo but then again, i don't have any power surges over here. Maybe twice or thrice in the entire year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Just voted. To all those who think it's not required... I wasn't using one earlier. A few months back there was a power fluctuation resulting in red lights on my console. I went out and bought an APC 500W UPS the same day. So now at least I don't have to worry about power cuts/surges while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinitwins Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 one Q for the guys already using UPS' - your X360's power cord has a 15-amp or 5-amp plug? my power cord (that attaches the power supply to the wall socket) has a 15-amp plug and i havent found an affordable UPS in the market that provides 15-amp socket(s). *OR* are you guys using a 15<->5amp converter plug?

Tyler Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Converter... no problems since Feb '07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleDragon Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Converter... no problems since Feb '07. i use converter on direct plug point so 15 amp plug running on 5 amp point .... when electricity goes - all red light flash - switch off the XBOX360 and switch it back ON - no problem .... but I do have voltage stabilizer for the power ..... but now thinking of getting a UPS too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 October is here and it brings along extreme heat and its much hated sidekick - power fluctuations. cant use my 360 as it's overly sensitive to any voltage anomalies (saw some nice red lights last night), so am finally getting myself a UPS. called up APC bombay (rolex logistics) and ironically their head office is out of service owing to a short circuit any recommendations for other brands that you guys trust?
