Uh huh...

The rest of us get 5-8 years from our UPS batteries, and size the UPS
units to give us longer run times. It's always best to use your brain
when making purchasing decisions, eh?

BTW, I can run my Mac Pro for a full 30 minutes during power outages before
running out of juice, and my internet connectivity is unafected by
outages, all thanks to a UPS.
