Looking for the smallest UPS battery Backup you guys have seen.

Smallest one I have found so far was made by Belkin but they don't make it anymore. The other one I found with a small footprint was $330....yeah, not happening.

I only need this because my apt has 1-3 second power surges virtually everyday and the doser I hooked up resets its clock every time this happens.

So basically, I don't even need it to run an extended period of time; I just need it to prevent the doser from turning off during those periodical surges.

thx.

If its just your doser, look for the small ones that come with uverse.

I checked out the one I had from Uverse. It's not that small (although smaller than most) and it doesn't have an outlet. It just has a cord that plugs directly into the modem.

Thanks guys for the help....I ended up going with this.

Mlivvy....yours was the smallest Ive seen but it had some pretty negative reviews of easy failure.
 
my apt looses power everyday for 10 second rain or shine,,,YOUR UPS WILL NOT LAST! mine went after 5 months..

FPL claims they see no issue.. when i tell them its the entire block then they see the issue and its being fixed... that was every few weeks.. for the past 4 years

jgoal, here's a similar one to the one that you selected, just a little smaller but has 2 more outlets (and same brand)...

Thx...no worries. Weird though, the dimensions for this one are totally different on Amazon than on Tiger. I had seen this one yesterday but ordered the other one because the dimensions on amazon were smaller.

Yeah, Im on the same boat pretty much. It's not every day but a few times a week. It sucks but i dont see another way around it. At least once i have the backup, replacing a battery every 5 mos wont be too bad (if that's what goes bad).
 
Received the batt. backup yesterday. Very small and exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly to keep the power going to the doser.




 
Just a little FYI..

It's IMPORTANT to plug in for 8 hours to charge first.

To turn on/off, press & hold the power button for 2 seconds.



I'm such a genius I surprised myself. :D

Glad you found what you were looking for.
