Are there some detailed specs about the AVR Boost mode? I like to know for how long an UPS could operate in this mode without any risk of failure.
Thanks a lot

there is no set time. it shouldnt be boosting OR trimming constantly. AVR boost or trim uses an internal transformer to the UPS and creates a lot of heat which will degrade the life of the internal components of the UPS, including the battery, if left on forever (perhaps feeding it lower voltage than the nominal voltage its designed for).
depending on the outside environment and other factors, this UPS could last for 10 years or 4 (purely hypothetical). i am not sure.
if you are constantly boosting or trimming, you need to look into finding out why its happening to avoid killing the UPS prematurely due to extra heat and strain on the UPS components.
hope this helps. let us know if you need anything else.
