Would this UPS works with my Mac Mini M4 Pro?

I live in a region where it often getting brownouts, with occasional power outages (maybe once every two month, randomly). At the moment I'm using Stavolt where I plug my Mac Mini into



It does the jobs in stabilizing voltage to 220V. But just got another power outage just this morning so I guess I really need to buy UPS. I searched and found this on sale, Vertiv™ Liebert® PSA-SOHO 720VA/360W, 230V, Line Interactive UPS


Would this work? My home power outlet is supposed to be 220V, but that UPS is giving out 230V ± 10% (so between 207V to 253V). Considering that Mac Mini M4 is listed at 100–240V, this will be bad news? Since the UPS can give out voltage higher than 240.


Also searched APC UPS that so many people suggested, but that too also 230V ± 10%. Any good UPS recommendations that give output range of 100–240V (that is within the range of Mac Mini)


Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

Technically if your mac is on 220 (built for that country), it could work. However it’s difficult to say.


On the other side, if you mean any software that would come with it (mine has such software to manage shutdown in case of outage, that’s another story - mine was working in my 2018 up to two or more macOS versions ago, but no more. Those ups manufacturers are not aiming to develop/update the software which is considered as a bonus rather than a must.


In principle, if the uos is said to protect electronics, you could be ok. But some are also made to regulate unstable power for washing machines or fridges, which can technically be less fragile than electronics, above all computers.


In doubt, i would search something in ekectronic and computers stores. It’s probably worth to avoid risking your $3000 expense on the mac.
