[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 980294, member: 369937"] I've used UPS systems for many years, on all my electronics, TV, home entertainment system and house hold item like one or two lights and the refrigerator, get a true signwave output UPS, it has less problems with motors and such, and the bigger you go in the VA rating the longer your up and running. Mine have external battery piles, I use AGM battery's setup in what ever voltage the UPS needs for an input, you can stack them for more run time, (mine will go for 3 days or so) however the UPS must be able to re-charge them in a far amount of time. If you use a UPS rated at 1200 VA it will not be able to re-charge a big battery pile (100 amp hours or more) as the internal charging circuit is not big enough amperage wise to do so, so I use a stand alone chaging system to do this, you can get 12, 24 and 36 volt chargers for the battery pile that can supply 20 to 50 amps or more and can charge several piles at once once the power comes back up. I am working on one that also uses solar as a recharge source. There are many many options, it all depends on the size of your pocket book, do you want to spend several thousand to watch TV or run the fridge when the lights are out? If so then take a look at the link below, you can get a UPS system with stack on battery piles to do what you need to do for as long as you think your going to be without power.
