Consider the power factor of Not only UPS but also for batteries .example.

1000 va output will be 700 watts

700 watts/.85 = x invt eff.

X/.65= Y batt. Eff.

Y/Vdc = Z vdc is no. Of batteries x volt of battery.ex 12 volt x 3 battery= 36 vdc

So Z x (Backup time needed ) say 3 hrs

So for example it comes 15

Multiply by 3 hrs

So backup is 45 Ah

HENCE , 3 BATTERIES ARE NEEDED FOR A 700 WATT LOAD ON A 3 BATTERY

SYSTEM (36 VDC) for 3 hrs backup.
