A60 compact standby UPS
The A60 Series is a compact standby UPS for device-level power protection where cost, simplicity, and ease of deployment come first. It delivers battery backup during outages to support safe shutdown of connected equipment, in a small footprint suited to desktop, wall-mounted, or field-installed applications.

Protection at the individual device
The A60 is built for localized protection at the device level rather than at the rack or infrastructure level. It deploys directly alongside equipment to provide basic outage protection without centralized UPS systems or rack integration — a simple, consistent approach to protecting distributed environments.
Sits next to the equipment it protects — no rack, no centralized UPS, no infrastructure dependency.
Battery backup during outages for safe shutdown — right-sized for stable-utility environments.
Flexible placement across retail, office, and field-installed systems with no specialized hardware.
A small desktop chassis that fits tight counters, cabinets, and equipment niches.
A TAA-compliant entry-tier platform for federal, state, and municipal distributed deployments.
A single, repeatable backup standard for rolling out protection across many sites and devices.
The entry tier in the distributed UPS portfolio
The A60 is the entry-tier, device-level platform in the Xtreme Power distributed UPS architecture. The portfolio steps up by topology — from standby, through line-interactive (AVR), to online double-conversion and lithium. Within the line-interactive tier, units step up by features, form factor, and output waveform (simulated to pure sine).
Choosing the right topology
The A60 is designed for environments where the primary risk is short-duration outages and utility power is generally stable. Standby topology provides battery backup only during an outage, without continuous voltage regulation. Where loads need regulation or fully conditioned power, the portfolio steps up.
Outage backup
Battery backup during outages for safe shutdown. Best where utility power is stable and the need is simple ride-through.
+ Voltage regulation
Adds automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct sags and swells without switching to battery.
Conditioned power
Continuous double-conversion output for sensitive or critical loads needing fully conditioned power.
A consistent replacement for entry-level UPS
The A60 is commonly deployed as a replacement for entry-level UPS systems — including the APC Back-UPS series, Eaton standby UPS platforms, and CyberPower desktop UPS systems — giving distributed deployments a single, TAA-compliant standard for simple, economical battery backup.
Model selection and capacity guidance
The A60 is deployed across distributed environments — retail POS, kiosks, desktop workstations, communications equipment, and security systems — wherever basic outage protection and safe-shutdown capability are the requirement.
| Model | Capacity | Display | USB charging | Data-line | Best-fit loads |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A60-550 | 550 VA / 330 W | 3 LEDs | — | — | POS systems, routers, and small electronics |
| A60-850 | 850 VA / 500 W | Touch LCD | USB-A 5V / 2.4A | RJ45 | Desktops, kiosks, and communications equipment |
Typical loads range from 75 W to 400 W. The A60 is designed for short-duration ride-through and controlled shutdown rather than extended runtime. Size it with the UPS selector →
