APC UPS BX1500LCD (865 watt) (again, overkill but nice).
not over kill, but extra run time.

your ups should be in neighborhood of a back-ups rs [shown as br1500];
load time watts mins. 865 3 400 15 300 23 200 40 100 60
load wattage is design of system and can not be increased.
run time is determined by battery amp/hour. most apc ups have 2 12 v gell cell batteries in series. if you want to increase your run time, you can use more cells external of case. just use 2 'y' spade connectors, run wires [12 awg or 10 awg] to external batteries.
my only complaint about apc is that they use mov [metal oxide varistors] for surge and spike.
one day i hope they will change and use sasd [silicon avalanche suppressor diodes] made by 'transtector', http://www.transtector.com. check their site and you will see why i have installed them on all my clients systems.
