Everybody needs a UPS to protect his/her system on power failures else it can lead to data loss or even damage to hardware. Here is a review of Microtek 800VA Double Battery UPS, which I have been using for over 16months.
Feature Highlights
- Extended Input Voltage Range of 135-300 Volts
- Smart Boost function for Low Input Voltage
- Smart Buck function for High Input Voltage
- Over Voltage Protection
- Over Load / Short Circuit Protection
- Battery Deep Discharge / Over Charge Protection
What we like about it?
- Good Backup time (25-50mins) We tested it on a Pentium D 3.0Ghz with 17″CRT while encoding a video, it lasted for 30mins and then it low battery alarm starts beeping.
- Can take up loads of a Woofer also, doesn’t restart the computer although connecting a woofer to UPS is not recommended.
- Can handle voltage spikes very effectively, immediately switches to battery backup mode on voltage fluctuations
- At a price tag of around 2.2K INR, it is a good deal.
What we don’t like about it?
- At this price tag, it can’t get better than this.
- But still to point out, it lacks software monitoring in which UPS status can be communicated to the OS.
While buying check that you get a manual which has a sticker of your UPS serial number. If its missing, then your UPS is not a original Microtek product. Once you are its owner, then it won’t take you long to call yourself a proud owner.
Bonus Tips :
- Before the first time use, it is advisable to charge it for 6~8 hrs for optimum use.
- Remember to discharge your UPS completely once every month to ensure good battery life.
- Never connect any load to the UPS while it is in battery backup mode. It might reboot the system.

Double battery = double protection. I think it’s time to change my UPS too. Thanks for the post. Oh, it seems like we use the same WP theme, check out my Tech Blog. (You might win prizes)

You got a good blog there. Liked your concept of maintaining the blog.
I just want to say that price tag is not about 2.2K INR .
it is 3.2K INR ( Model MDP 800+ double battery 800VA ) .
@mvs
I bought two of them in 2.2K although the MRP is higher. You need to find the best deal on hardware. Nothing costs a bomb shell unless you are looking for extreme hardware performance.

@Nishant
Its a good UPS but you paid too much for it.
@Srinivasashwin
Go for APC ups. They are the best in market, although expensive but they are worth it.
