Thanks Dave - is that what you use?
I was actually thinking of a DIY online or dual conversion UPS. Just need a power supply connected to a deep cycle battery and an inverter). I already have a 300w sine wave inverter and I figure the battery (around 50Ah) and at least a 25A power supply would cost around $500. More expensive for sure but you don't have to stop your observing session if the power goes out AND you're always isolated from mains power.
