The Albit 500 C is one of the few UPSs in this list to

have its battery float voltage within acceptable limits. The Albit put up a reasonable

performance in the lab-tested parameters, but fared poorly on price, warranty and

compactness. Unlike the Datex and the Nissan, which also fared poorly on these points, the

Albit could not make up on the electrical tests, leading to the low ranking. The Albit,

like most of the others, has a simple front panel with a single switch and two LED

indicators. On the back panel there are three outlets and terminals for external batteries

for increasing the backup time.

Albit

500 C

A heavy 500 VA model, with rather low

efficiency. The Albit has three outlets, and optional external batteries can increase the

backup time. Rs 9,900. RQS B/B<: 6 (of 17 tested)>B/B<: 70% at 260 W>B/B<: 6.8 ms>B/B#: 8 minutes

The switchover time at 6.8 milliseconds is reasonably

fast, and it was able to start the second 250 VA load, supplying a minimum of 209 V. It

survived the short-circuit test, tripped and was restored by a power off-on cycle.

The Albit however showed a low efficiency of 70 percent at

260 watts.
