Battery For PC

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.

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.
