UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

Recommended Posts

I'm considering a UPS, not as much for computer power back-up, but as a power source to run a fan and maybe one light when my building power goes down, which happens about every 2 or 3 months, usually for several hours.  Is a UPS practical for this kind of use?  I read something about the sine wave not being appropriate for motors like fans but I was not sure what kind of UPS was being referred to.  What power ratings should I look for?

What units sold locally are worthwhile?

a scooter battery, trickle charger and a 12 vdc fan or a few fans that run off of USB ports.
