If you want to ensure that your electronic devices are always protected from power interruptions and fluctuations, then you should consider getting an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device provides reliable battery backup power and surge protection to safeguard your sensitive equipment whenever there's a power outage or unsafe voltage levels.

What is an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)?
Why do you need a UPS in your home or business?
Home: The electronic devices you rely on every day for communication, security and entertainment are at risk for damage and failure due to unexpected blackouts, voltage fluctuations or other power disruptions. A UPS provides battery backup power and protection for electronic devices, including:
- Wireless networking equipment (routers, modems)
- Computers
- Televisions
- Security systems
- Gaming consoles
- Mobile devices
Business: Downtime caused by power outages is frustrating for anyone, but can be financially crippling for a business or organization. Every year, billions of dollars are lost due to downtime caused by power disruptions that could have been prevented by a UPS. For Fortune 1000 companies:
- Average annual cost of unplanned downtime, $1.25—$2.5 billion
- Average hourly cost of infrastructure failure: $100,000
- Average hourly cost of critical application failure: $500,000—$1 million
Small to medium-sized businesses may be at most financial risk due to a limited ability to generate revenue during downtime.
