When the power is off it keeps these running for about 35 to 40mins.
Mine has a warning "beep". If the mains is off, the UPS beeps every 5 seconds to alert you that the power is off.
This is quite loud & on the feild in the dead of night would be quite prominent.

A google search shows 1100va UPS for between $250 & $350 depending on what you get.

I still like the battery & solar panel option for personal power..
