Here is a link to a former employer you can learn more than you ever
wanted to know about UPSs off their site.

Be warned there are a number of different designs for UPSs and most will
not function from a DC output generator check with the manufacturer.
Most will not function properly with a laser printer attached, the in
rush is too high from the laser printer.
UPSs are allot like welders there is a big difference between consumer
and industrial products and you do get what you pay for.
