Considering a UPS

[bmwmike]

Sorry if this has been done to death

I'm considering a home UPS to keep the lights for a few moments to enable a QNAP 2 drive NAS and a raspberry Pi to shut down gracefully.

Any suggestions for a skinflint budget of £100 or am I dreaming? I was looking at the outputs and it looks like pure sinewave is what i need/want, and those start higher.

Happy to push the budget a bit but not too far.

Thanks
Mike

I got a a cyber power pure sine wave a few month back. Does the job well although be warned although it has 2 uk power sockets as well as iec the way round they are many power plugs overhang and block the iec outlets.

Cost more than £100 (closer to double that) but the battery is easily replaced unlike the cheap units. I’ve also got it connected up a raspberry pi, which monitors the ups through the usb connection and drops me an email if the ups kicks in.

A lot of people I know use cyber power units from ebuyer. They all seem to work okay.
