Of interest to all that might consider an APC UPS.
Note: this is the 'smart ups' series, which is pure sine wave and their top desktop series.
1. They have a battery disconnect conveniently on the back. Useful to completely kill battery drain when not needed (after you shutdown your pc).
2. They will 'cold start' which means they will start providing a/c power without having a/c power present to begin with. Not all units do this. Helpful when you've shutdown, but need to bring it back up later.
Between 1 and 2, you can efficiently manage your limited battery life very effectively.
