UPS recommendations?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I've used one of those plug-through energy monitors to measure the Pi
and some other equipment that I'd like to protect with a UPS.

networking stuff: 
   26 W (average over 6 hours)
   27 W (instantaneous reading when I checked)
   49 VA (" ")
   PF 0.54 (" ")

Pi + external hard drive
   6 W (average over 14 hours, including some intensive file transfers)
   5 W (instantaneous reading when I checked)
   13 VA (" ")
   PF 0.41 (" ")

So I figure 65 VA + safety margin.  I'd prefer a small, quiet UPS (to
go in a cupboard) with surge protection.  

It would be a bonus if it can be configured not to shut the Pi down
immediately when the power goes out (in case of brief interruptions) &
to wait a few minutes after the power comes back on before turning the
Pi back on (in case the power flickers before staying on).

I'd be grateful for any recommendations.

Thanks.
