After 24 hours of charging and 3 hours of normal use, I can say that the UPS, when turned off, consumes 7 Watts (sometimes 7.1 Watts) constantly. When turned on, but without any load, it consumes 7.5 Watts constantly, but sometimes it jumps to 8.4 Watts for a few seconds. If it goes under 7.0 Watts when turned off, I will come back here and leave a message; if I don't, then assume that it didn't change. Anyway, I hope this helps someone. Love you PCX, you rock! :D

Included in package: monitor power cable, just like this one: h*****//w***pcx.hu/50cm-fekete-monitor-tapkabel-372200 Not included: normal power cable, like this one: h*****//w***pcx.hu/4world-05267-halozati-tapkabel-057606 Charging the battery, without load(that is, without turning on the UPS via its power button), as instructed by the manual for 8 hours before first use, drains around 14 Watts continously from the power socket initially, and it decreases with time until it reaches 8.2 Watts after 8 hours, and 7.9 Watts after 15 hours (maybe it's still charging the internal UPS battery? and the temperature at the top of the UPS is the same as before - like the human body temperature, so maybe no more than 36 degrees celsius). The power usage (Watts) was measured by me manually by using "whitenergy ENERGYSAVER H&O Power Meter". The manual says that the UPS will charge its battery even when the UPS is turned off, as long as it's plugged into the power socket. I will update this to tell you if the power usage, when the UPS is turned off (from its power button), becomes less than 7.9 Watts (almost 8 Watts). I believe it's still charging the battery, that's why it's so high. We'll see. I haven't yet turned on the UPS from its power button. Hope this helps.
