...t wife was dying of COPD. Leave your ups setup as is but for under $10k (USD), have an automatic home sized standby generator installed to run the important stuff, then your power outages won't last more than startup lags, 5 or 8 seconds. Because we have central air, I bought the biggest generac, 20kw, nat gas powered version about 13 years back, but generac hasn't answered the phone in 3 or 4 years, & the controller died a few months back so the label got changed from generac to kohler, same 20kw rating. So I have more than $10k usd in it now, but you should be able to src a...

It shuts down if unplugged in only a couple minutes, but will not accept a longer timeout. It does do the job I bought it to do. The pi's draw and the interface card is about 13 or 14 WA. > ____...
