    My UPS just runs on a lead battery. It lasts long enough to run my router and server for a few minutes and cost less than 100€.

    I got it when we had electrical issues and using the ironing board would trip the main fuse.

      Yeah, I was thinking a UPS wouldn’t hold a load up long enough to do electrical work, but I guess it depends on the nature of what needs to be done

          We had some very large UPSes at work that would be able to keep a server up for hours, but they’re also so heavy it would probably cause the floor in my living room to collapse :p
