We used an inverter-type with standard 12V lead-acid car batteries recently. Had a plug-in monitoring solution.


Ah, I see. Probably more hefty than the use-case I'm envisioning (just keeping a few NAS devices online until they can power down).


I think the pricing is reasonable but I've forgot the exact name of the thing we used (and I have switched job so I cannot just look it up.)

Another benefit of using a standard inverter is that it is fairly lightweight so you can send it with the rest of the gear halfway around the globe and just source car batteries locally.


That's a fairly significant advantage, especially in my case. Thanks for the advice!
