The UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) is a self contained unit containing a battery, an inverter and control circuits.

They look after themselves, with regard to charge and discharge. No user interference required.

When mains power is available, this is passed directly through to the computer.

The battery is automatically monitored, charged, float charged and trickled to keep it in good health. They will not overcharge their battery.

During a power failure, the inverter takes over, powered by the battery. An alarm usually sounds to let you know, you only have minutes of time left to close your work and switch off safely.

When power is restored the battery will be charged automatically.

Why is there a USB port on my UPS?

You would need to check with the manufacturer of the UPS. Most likely this is to connect to the computer that the UPS is supporting. As the UPS will only be able to power the computer for a small amount of time there is normally a connection between the computer and UPS. This is for the UPS to tell the computer it is now running on the batteries and to tell the computer to shut-down in a controlled way.

What the use of computer UPS?

A computer UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is designed to provide power to a computer system if normal power fails. The length of time a UPS will support a computer depends on the capacity of the UPS and the draw of the system being supported. Properly configured and installed, most systems will monitor the UPS and begin a normal shutdown when notified by the UPS that a power outage is in process. Some are large enough to maintain computer operations long enough for backup power generation to come online.
