Battery Backup UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
What is a battery backup? It is a device that protects electronics from electrical surges but also has outlets that are powered by a battery inside the device in case the electricity goes out. So depending on the wattage the device supports, and the amount of wattage used by the devices plugged in, a battery backup can keep your equipment powered on while the electricity is out; how long depends on the amount of wattage used per the wattage supported by the battery backup. For example if a 350 watt battery backup has 325 watts plugged in and being used, then the battery backup will probably only keep those devices powered on for a few minutes. Whereas a 350 watt battery backup with 75 watts plugged in could stay powered on for several minutes or maybe even an hour or more. Battery backups not only protect the equipment from power surges but because they can keep a computer powered up for a few minutes it can buy you time to save your work and shut down the computer properly to avoid corruption of your hard drive. The price of a battery backup varies depending on the wattage capabilities. Usually the lower the wattage the lower the price, where the higher the wattage the more expensive. These devices are commonly found online or at big box stores such as Best Buy, Staples or OfficeMax. Click here to read more in The Fiber Download!
