Description
Tripp Lite BC PERS420 420VA 265W UPS Battery Backup No Battery 120V 60Hz
The Tripp Lite BC PERS420 is a compact desktop uninterruptible power supply (UPS) rated at 420VA / 265W output. It provides battery backup power to connected equipment during a power outage or voltage irregularity, protecting against data loss and hardware damage. This unit does not include a battery — a compatible 12V sealed lead-acid battery (such as the Yuasa NP7-12 12V 7.0Ah) must be sourced separately before the unit can deliver backup power.

Applications
The Tripp Lite BC PERS420 is a late-1990s to early-2000s era personal desktop UPS designed to protect home office and small-business equipment — desktop computers, monitors, external drives, and similar loads — from power interruptions, brownouts, and surges. UPS units of this class sit between the wall outlet and connected gear, switching to battery power within milliseconds of a power event, giving users time to save work and shut down cleanly. The BC PERS420 is a standby (offline) topology UPS, meaning it passes utility power directly under normal conditions and only activates the inverter during an outage — a common and cost-effective design for personal computing loads of this era. It remains useful today wherever a compact, low-cost 120V battery backup is needed, provided a compatible battery is installed.
This Tripp Lite BC PERS420 420VA UPS battery backup has been inspected and is in good used condition. The unit is clean with normal cosmetic wear consistent with prior office use. As noted, batteries are not included — this UPS uses an external 12V sealed lead-acid battery (such as a Yuasa NP7-12 12V 7.0Ah) connected via an internal lead with a proprietary connector; a compatible replacement battery will be needed before the unit can provide backup power.
