<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Look at the amp hours of
the UPS you want to buy and multiply that by 120*4
(voltage*hours). Then find the max power used by the two machines
(usually found on the AC-DC converter on the back of PCs or the
power adapter for laptops) and make sure that is less than the USP
you want to buy. Another option is to look into getting solar
panels with a central battery system - a bit more of an investment
but could save you money in the long term by reducing energy
coming from the grid (or generate an income if you get enough
panels).</font><br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>With the recent outages, I'm looking at getting some
battery packs, portable rechargeable generator, and a UPS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What systems do you all have in place at home?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For a rechargeable generator, looking at Jackery Portable
Power Station Explorer 240. Does anyone have any
other recommendations?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For a UPS, I don't know where to start - I have two towers
now (work and home). <br>
<ul>
<li>Can I use one UPS for two machines? </li>
<li>Does a UPS provide power for more than a few minutes?</li>
<li>If not, what I would need to support a tower for about 4
hours? (or is that just not feasible without getting a
house generator?)</li>
</ul>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
