Today’s Amazon Deal of the Day is the APC BR1000G Back-UPS Pro 8-outlet Uninterruptible Power Supply for only $94.99. This item has 8 outlets (4 battery backup, 4 surge protected) and a LED display indicating the number of minutes of battery left.
This is immensely useful for photographers — we use these extensively. In addition to plugging in our computers (to prevent lost work during a power failure), we also plugin our network-attached storage, as it doesn’t tolerate being abruptly power cycled. Also, during an outage, we’ve used the battery reserve to top off cell phone, camera, and laptop batteries. Handy!
