Battery For PC

[WhatComesAround]

I could be wrong but I remember seeing a product that can power a pc during a black out or something like that. I definitely know there is something like that for servers but I am sure they are very expensive, they are called USP or something like that, linus mentioned them in some video. So my question is does anyone know what that kind of a product is called, or whether it even exists, how much it would cost, and how long it would last. Thanks for any info.

They are not really built to be used as a continuous power replacement if a black out is to occur but more of a safety device so a user can save work and shut down correctly.

It's called a UPS, you can probably get a decent one on amazon for a decent price. I use a 865W from APC LINK. Depending on your pc's peak pull on wattage, you also need headroom. The battery should to be replaced around every 3 years so you have full capacity and to keep it working. I really only use it to clean the power up and counter the dips from my AC/Heater.

 

Side note: If my pc is on full load (eg.encoding, rendering or gaming) my UPS only last about 5-8mins.
