We don't have a lot of power outages. In fact maybe 3 in the last 8 years, and the longest in duration was about 2 and a half hours. I was looking for a battery system that would let me play on the computer while waiting for power to be restored. For the money they spent, I can retuen it and invest a little more and get a gas powered genrator, for the rare instance of power interruption, and with a generator, I can power a lamp too so my wife can read while waiting.

Any work I do on the computer is just drafting pleadings in Word, and I back all my data to an external harddrive which is not plugged in or connected unless I'm backing up my data. It isn't like my job is a graphics illustrator who would lose all the work on a major project if the power went out.

Thank you for all the useful information.
