You might think you can get along just fine without a UPS (battery backup) for your PC - especially if you have a laptop. But the truth is that UPSes are for more than just temporary backup power. They're a lot more than "just" a battery! This is more true than ever with heat waves, turbulent weather, and unstable power grids...
