Compact desktop UPS for home and office

The Tripp Lite Internet900U is a 900VA / 480W standby battery backup designed for desktop computers, networking gear and home-office electronics. It delivers instantaneous switchover during blackouts and brownouts, giving you time to save work and shut down safely. A built-in USB port enables optional unattended shutdown via free PowerAlert software. Twelve outlets provide flexible connectivity for a typical workstation.

Upgrade from basic surge strips

Unlike a simple power strip, this unit adds battery-backed runtime so a brief outage does not force an immediate hard shutdown. The jump is worth it when you cannot risk losing unsaved documents, corrupting a database or dropping a network-attached storage volume. Six outlets supply both backup power and surge protection for critical loads; the remaining six provide surge protection only for peripherals such as printers that do not need battery time.

480 watts of backup capacity

At half load (approximately 450 W) the unit runs for about 10 minutes; at full 900 W load it lasts roughly 2.5 minutes, enough for an orderly shutdown. The 420-joule surge rating handles everyday transients but is not sized for heavy industrial spikes. Recharge takes four hours. Users needing longer runtime, automatic voltage regulation or higher joule protection should look at larger or line-interactive models.

Questions about this item

What desk or shelf depth do I need for the ultra-compact Internet900U?

The UPS is marketed as ultra-compact for desktop use; its 6 ft input cord reaches a wall socket while the unit sits on a standard desk or shelf.

Which step do people skip when installing the USB management link?

After connecting the supplied USB cable, you must download and install the free PowerAlert software to enable unattended shutdown; the cable alone does not activate it.

When will the user-replaceable battery need changing and what do I buy?

The battery is rated for a 3-year warranty period; after that you can replace it yourself with a compatible Tripp Lite battery cartridge to restore full runtime.
