Another Non-Tax Question

[Redneck]

I need a battery backup for power outages. Anyone know of a good one for a two computer system.
Thanks

I have used APC battery backup devices which I have bought from Office Depot.
I use a separate one for each computer. I lose power here at least twice a year.
I tried cheaper and smaller models and all have worked well. The batteries do not
last a long time. I just buy another battery backup device as I understand the
batteries are difficult to find and cost almost as much as the backup device.

I use Ultra 1000VA 600 Watts from Tiger for $120.

I learned that they should be replace every 3 years since (my own words, I am not an electronic person) "something doesn't work perfectly anymore and the unit then can harm the computer". Along with the jokingly advise to pass the seemingly working unit on to your competitor.

It cannot be measured either. What puzzles me though, is that if it cannot be measured, how do they no about the harm.
