Battery Backup
Hi all, I need a new battery backup for my home office. All that is connected to it is my PC. a windows 10 all in one. It's an older PC and I plan on upgrading eventually, but the UPS suddenly died on me first!. I don't need anything fancy. Just something that can provide a few minutes of power if I loose power while I'm working, or to handle any power surges. I think that's pretty standard. Thanks!
