I seriously don't recommended using it (at least without doing some researches first).
Many UPS units are optimized for 50%-80% load. If you put a very light load on an office UPS, like a lamp, a modem or a Raspberry Pi, some UPS's inverter will drain itself quicker before the load even drains battery. Some UPS have a light-load powersave feature, they don't even activate themselves when there's little load. Also, most office UPS is designed for short loss of power, not as a longterm battery-backup, so it will keep beeping until it's dead. Depending on what the OP is trying to do, this may be unacceptable.
Due to the above problems. If I chose to use a 110/220 V UPS, I would at least try finding one designed to supply backup power to routers and modems to ensure that they don't have this problem.
- sgt 7y agoThat's very interesting. I did not know this. I saw your other response, it almost feels like the other options are not really optimal either. I guess the 5-volt power board is the best? But browsing through the Aliexpress results, I could not find anything that comes already wrapped up in a box and ready for use, as you would with a normal UPS. I suppose most people prefer that.
