Electrical power isn’t foolproof. Here in Florida we experience flickers nearly every time a nice storm rolls through (in the summer months, that’s pretty often). A battery backup has saved our hides on many occasions.

A battery backup is an alternate power supply for your electronics. We use them on our computers, which keeps them running about five minutes after power interruption. Most times the power is back on within seconds, but for lengthier outages being able to perform a proper system shutdown can prevent data corruption.

I’ll write more details on all this later, but for right now, inquiring minds… Have you installed battery backups in your office or home? If so, which one? And has it saved you more than once?
