I’m hoping this is an ok community to post this in…

I’m looking for a surge protector with battery back up for my computer. I’ve looked up a few on Amazon but some of the reviews have left me leery. There’s so much junk on Amazon I’m hoping that someone here might be able to recommend one they’ve used.

TIA!

    You brought up a good point.

    It would be helpful to know OP’s use case for the UPS. Just need enough time to save your game/work? Want to keep your modem and router running so you can have wifi while the power is out?

    Something to keep in mind is, without a massive battery and a very expensive UPS, you won’t be gaming in the dark for very long. Maybe 15 minutes max with most consumer-grade UPS. Even commercial-grade UPS only stay on long enough to gracefully shut down services. For anything more, a generator is best.
