Compact and quiet, it provides backup power for PCs, networking devices, printers, and other essential electronics, allowing safe shutdown during short power interruptions.

Equipped with 2 UK sockets, USB connectivity, and automatic voltage regulation (AVR), the 5E Gen2 stabilizes your power supply while protecting your devices from surges and brownouts. Its built-in battery ensures uninterrupted operation, while user-friendly LED indicators keep you informed of the UPS status at a glance.

Ideal for small offices, home workstations, and network setups, the Eaton 5E Gen2 delivers peace of mind with dependable, continuous power protection.

Key Specifications

• Capacity: 700 VA (volt‑amps) / 360 W (real output) – the total electrical load it can support.
• Topology: Line‑interactive UPS with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) — helps stabilize brownouts and overvoltages without using battery power unnecessarily.
• Output Sockets: Configurations vary by region — usually IEC C13 outlets or UK BS sockets depending on the specific version (e.g., BS for UK/Kenya).
• Form Factor: Tower design — simple to place beside desks or network racks.
• Noise: Fanless design on units up to ~1200 VA → quiet operation.
• Communication: USB port (HID‑compatible). Connect to a PC to enable automated safe shutdown during longer outages using Eaton software.
• Battery: Sealed lead‑acid (~7 Ah); includes auto battery test, cold‑start capability and deep‑discharge protection.
• Operating Range: 230 VAC nominal; accepts wide input range (approx. 140–300 VAC).
• Indicators: LED status indicators for power/battery status.
• Protection: Protection against surges and mains fluctuations.

Typical Use & Runtime

• Ideal for PCs, routers, modems, small servers/office equipment where a short runtime is sufficient to safely shut down or ride through short power cuts.
• Backup time depends on load: heavier loads reduce runtime significantly (approx. minutes, not hours).

 What It’s Good For

✔ Keeping computers and networks running during short outages
✔ Protecting against voltage dips/spikes
✔ Automated shutdown via USB HID support
✔ Quiet and compact backup solution

 What It’s Not Designed For

❌ Long runtime power (like heavy servers or high‑wattage equipment)
❌ High‑end sine‑wave output — this model typically outputs stepped sine (~modified sine) which is fine for many devices but not ideal for some sensitive gear
