I am not an expert, but I will share what I know. First, the number tells you how much electricity can flow ( how many items can be plugged in to run ). The internet might help with how to figure out math to calculate. You would need to figure how much each of your devices use then adding them together. The box has a general guidelines on the back of the box. Example: if you have 1 monitor and pc plugged in, the battery will run for an hour. If you have 2 monitors and pc will run 30 min on battery. Etc. .. so the higher the number the longer it can run on battery or the more devices... I am using mine 1000 for pc 2 monitors router and cable modem. This protects the equipment from being damaged by fluctuating or power outage. Note: it has two sides, 1 battery backup and other just surge protector, with power outage only battery side will have power. I consider cost with the highest A or VA I can get. I hope this helps.
