It's going to fall somewhere between the idle of 92W and the maximum of 310W. I would aim at around 210-230W.


I run mine on a APC 1500 pro which provides about 15 minutes at 400W. I have other devices on it as well.


I would think at a minimum something like below. This would only provide about 8 Minutes at 300W

APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700
