Battery backup capacity and outlet count

The Eaton 5SC500 is a 500 VA, 350 W uninterruptible power supply with four NEMA 5-15R outlets. It connects to the wall through a single NEMA 5-15P plug and includes RS-232 and USB ports for management software. The tower unit measures 8.20" x 5.90" x 9.50" and weighs 15.20 lbs.

Suitable loads and limits

This UPS suits desktop computers, networking gear or point-of-sale equipment that stay within the 350 W power rating. It is not for workstations, servers or laser printers that draw more than 350 W, nor for installations needing more than four protected outlets or longer runtime than the internal battery provides.

Output power rating decides fit

The 350 W rating is the single figure that determines whether your equipment can run on battery during an outage; add the wattage of every device you plan to connect and confirm the total stays at or below 350 W.

Questions about this item

When will the internal battery of the 5SC500 need replacement?

The sealed lead-acid battery typically lasts three to five years; plan replacement when runtime drops below your needs.

What limits continuous output on the 5SC500 during a long outage?

The 350 W rating is the hard ceiling; exceeding it trips the overload protection.

How much heat and noise does the 5SC500 produce when running all day?

In normal operation the unit runs silent with only a low‑hum transformer; fans activate only on battery or overload.
