Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) is the APC BE550G Back-UPS 550 8 Outlet Surge Protector and Battery Backup for $42.95. This is a 39% savings from the regular price of $70, today only.
This is immensely useful for photographers — we use these extensively. In addition to plugging in our computers (to prevent lost work during a power failure), we also plugin our network-attached storage, as it doesn’t tolerate being abruptly power cycled. Also, during an outage, we’ve used the battery reserve to top off cell phone, camera, and laptop batteries. Handy!
Pretty sure the only thing I could plug into this, in case of a power failure, is my monitor…. and for like 3 minutes.
Different sizes for different needs…. I use one for my modem and router and it lasts for a long time.
Wish they would free ship to AK
Ordered one to have my computer shut down safely when the power fails. I’m not concerned with extended use after a failure. Just don’t want a cold crash because of electricity loss. Thanks CPR, used your link 🙂
