Battery backup KDV21

The use of an external UPS is a good way to go. If you buy an external UPS consider the brand and size you want. If power loss issues are a consideration using a UPS is a great way to protect your sensitive equipment from power spikes when the power comes back on. The power tends to surge on power lines after an outage and depending upon how far you are from a major transfer station the surge can be hazardous to electronics. We lived in the mountains in CA and power outages were a frequent event. I did have damage to a computer due to a spike so i started running UPS systems in my home to protect my expensive electronics. I found the APC brand to be pretty reliable. Sure you have to replace batteries every 2-3 years but I found it to be a reasonable path. It is sort of like insurance.
