Seems OK from the blurb, but, of course, I can't comment on the

quality/service/support etc.

It does lack any way of notifying the PC that the battery is about to die,

so you can't shut down cleanly, but that's no worse than you have at the

moment...

Hi There,

Does anyone out there own one of these cheap UPS's like:

These things seem to be absurdly cheap. I'd be interested in an opinion

I was thinking of getting one to protect my PC's from the occasional
"brown-out" we get in very windy weather.

A second application would be use with a lead lamp when doing electrical
wiring at the fuseboard with all power off, in the half-light and with a
torch in your mouth!
