If you or anybody else could recommend some good UPS for backups of my machines, that would be a great help. I used to have one back in the days of desktop computers (and I do still have a desktop, in storage), but now with laptops and tablets and smartphones trying to take over the world, the power backup solutions are getting hard to find. Or maybe things are just changing too fast, and I am too old and slow to catch on.
Based on the catalog listings of UPS replacement batteries, UPS model numbers must change at least every month, if not every week. Tripp-Lite made the last two I bought for computer use, 1500VA each, which are still working, while most recent is an APC 450VA for bedroom TV & Roku. Last to die here was an Eaton. Most to die here in last two decades have been APC. Florida is hard on them. https://www.thefloridaagents.com/is-florida-the-lightning-capital-of-the-wor...
