UPS for PS4 help needed.

Hi geeks, sorry for posting this here but this sub-forum has the most traffic.

I have a PCE 650 VA UPS, the battery is dead so before buying a new battery i wanted to check if the 650 VA will work with the PS4 Slim which is 160 watts (on paper it should work but in reality i dunno).

Thank You for your help.

Hey.

If the UPS is for the PS4 alone then I think it's enough.
The TV, sound system etc. will draw more power however.

I had a 1200VA UPS, that was powering a PS4 pro, a 55" 4K TV, a receiver and a sound system. It was just enough.

Cool, thanks for you reply.

I’ll be plugging just the PS4 and an ADSL router combo so i think i’m ok.

I probably have to invest in a bigger UPS just like you because i just had my LED TV fixed, the  power outages are brutal.

Thanks again.

I think it should be pure sine wave and not simulated, right LifeEngineer?

No idea to be honest (I'm a civil engineer and I'm clueless about electricity   ).
I had the regular offline UPS, not the expensive online UPS.

I see. Then most probably simulated since pure sine wave is very expensive compared to it. Could you send us which UPS do you have?
