This Dell UPS battery backup perfect for outages is $80 today — normally $99

Dell UPS battery backup on sale
Dell

We’ve all been there before. The power surges or cuts, even if for a second, and everything shuts off. The problem is you were in the middle of a big project and you have no idea when your work was last saved. Now, it’s totally possible you lost time and effort. There is a way to combat this, and it’s called a UPS battery backup, or uninterruptible power supply. It’s not going to keep you playing or working for hours upon hours during a major outage, but it will definitely give you enough time to finish up, save, and shut everything down properly. You just need to plan ahead and have one set up before the next outage happens. While it’s no Dell XPS deal, today it’s offering a great price on a 600VA UPS battery backup. Normally $99, it’s down to $80, saving you $19. No, it’s not a huge discount, but that’s a heck of a price to keep the lights on when they shouldn’t be.

Why shop this Dell UPS battery backup deal?

A UPS battery backup, specifically this one, is designed to both give you more time to finish up what you’re doing, working off battery power preserved inside, and offer surge protection for major power events. Like a surge protector, this one offers up to $75,000 in equipment protection policies. But honestly, I would say that’s a bonus and that wouldn’t be the sole reason you’d pick up one of these.

This Dell 600VA floor or wall-mountable UPS has seven total outlets, five for battery backup and surge protection, and two for surge protection only. One USB port even allows smart charging for mobile or personal devices. Here’s the best part, you can also plug your router or modem into it to keep the network active during utility outages. Now, that’s not going to do you much good if the storm is responsible for knocking out the internet, but that kind of thing isn’t common. Imagine how that would have served me and my family during Milton’s recent chaos? We lost power for days and my kids were inconsolable without their electronics.

The battery is hot-swappable, as well, which means it’s user-replaceable provided you find a comparable option. That means this UPS system is great for long-term use.

Normally $99, it’s yours today through this deal for only $80, saving you $19. Even if not this particular UPS battery backup, trust me, grab one. It’s a small price to pay to reduce the headaches of losing your work and unexpected power events. A UPS also works with both desktop PCs and laptops.
