OT: UPS question

I have been looking for UPS's on the web and notice that they have a listed
backup time.  Is this the minimum backup time if it is fully loaded or the total
backup time no matter how much power my computer is using?  I find it rather
strange that a UPS that says it will run a 500 watt computer for 50 minutes
wouldn't run a 250 watt computer for 100 minutes.

Please forgive the off-topic and n00b question.
