Just one of the reasons there is a 20 kw nat gas burning standby in the
back yard. Its running and I haven't seen the blink long before the ups
batteries are used up. However, for other reasons, uptime is about 2
weeks right now.

Quoth midi-pascal.....
Nice theory. Power outages longer than momentary here average about
4X-5X as long as UPS battery charge. It's been years since I enjoyed
as much as 200 days uptime. UPS batteries here average little more
than 802 days between need to replace them. 3 times in the past 36
months I've had them expire *during* their warranty periods. I spend
more on UPS batteries and UPSes than on PCs, but in part that's
because they protect the power supplies and motherboards from derelict
power company service. Mine has been up for 285 days now... because I
suffered a power
failure last year.
Get a UPS :-)
