Make that 5 minutes * 500W/5W or 500 minutes which is indeed a

If you want 150 hours, you need to be looking at a backup generator, so
your UPS only needs to last as long as it takes for your generator to
fire up.

Of course - but I don't think anyone wanted 150 hours they were
just confused about Watts and Watt-hours and seemed to think that's what
they would get.
