Good ol’ Fluke describes Power Factor with beer…

This is over your head too I’m sure UPS anon, just know the 1300VA isn’t a capacity rating over time, it’s like an instantaneous measurement, the max amount of power you can draw from the UPS at one moment, not how long the UPS will deliver it for.

The actual Watt-hour (Wh) rating tells how long (hours) you can power a given load (watts) for, maybe described as VAh? That’s probably in the owner’s manual or somewhere on the packaging.
