Did you use a backup battery in your PC?

I cant believe why so many people run their PC,s without back up protection, that was the 1st thing i buy when i get this PC, is important to protect your inversion and you can get rid of future pains.

 

Yup....all computers on one, servers naturally, and my network equipment including modem and router.

 

Yes all my PC's are connected to mains via UPS

 

I have had an APC battery backup for a long time now. I cannot see myself ever not using one.

 

Absolutely. Where I live an UPS is a must. All of my computers, routers, kvm switches, monitors are powered by UPS's. If needed my UPS's will signal the computers to shutdown.

 

people always get their $1,000 plus plasma or LED t.v.s and they never use any kind of backup protection and then during a electric power fail you know cry, cry and more cryng

 

Never used backup battery and not planning to

 

I too never used and battery backups too

 

Didn't even know 'bout them and now I do know it's a nice piece of useless information to me.

 

Probably because they usually last a few mins only.
15-20 mins?
If they lasted a few hours then i would consider it

 

15-20 Min is enough to save your work so that computer shuts down in correct manner it is not like you can work on your PC for hours during power cut

 

I have UPS

 

And just as importantly...they maintain nice smooth clean power to your equipment plugged into them.

What does this provide? Added stability, and longer life of electronic equipment. Far less issues.

 

Where do you stay in India does your area experience frequent power failure?

 

you are lost in the middle of the sea let me tell you is not a battery for continuing working when you have a power cut is just to protect your PC or electro domestic in a power cut or over voltage its even help to lower your PC power consumption and help all your internal to be safety read the following.

I was not using one either until three or four years ago. Then we had a Power failure in my area, when it was restored I guess there was a surge. It blew up my Power Supply, Mother Board and Harddrive!
So I learned the hard way and since then I'm using one.

 

We've only been using laptops (4 around the house).

 

at least connect your laptop on a power surge protector

 

I don't have a backup battery.
But i do have a power surge protector/voltage regulator

 

same here.

 

just a surge protector for my laptop too

 

i dont know

 

Recently got an APC Back-UPS ES 550 and 2 surge protectors for under $20. Attaching a picture soon.

 

Multiple UPS, for everything, including modems and routers.
Mrk

 

a really, really big UPS, two car sized batteries, 1100W inverter, 40A charger, does all computer gear plus TV gear and some house lights for safety at night, good for about 1.5 days if there's a long outage.
