Max I just went to the web site and they sell and service units that range from small residential units that you would use to keep the electronic equipment in your home office up and running all the way up to large commercial units. They come in 1 phase and 3 phase. That means nothing to me but I figured it would be useful information to you. Also they sell and service surge protecters. I did not see any thing about batteries but I find it hard to believe that if they have a service center and they support their products that they wouldnÂ't have the appropreate batteries to sell for the units they offer. For any more information on this go to www.mgeups.com <http://www.mgeups.com/> If you like what you see let me know. I would like to get some thing like this but I donÂ't have a very big budget for it. During storms I can always like clock work count on the power dropping for any where from 1 second or as much as 5 seconds. So given that scenario I really donÂ't need any thing that high powered just reliable. Also the only thing I am really concerned about is my tower, router and my DSL box. I donÂ't even need to plug the screen into it if the unit is that small.
