[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 66461, member: 162"] Re: Surge Supressor vs UPS That's likely fine. There are a couple things to watch out for with units like this. First of all - how loud is the fan noise. Second, sometimes units like this switch to battery every time they decide to change buck/boost taps (no first hand experience on this model but some APC units do this), so if you're on really soggy power, you may find that the battery is dead due to constant switching to battery on kick hits. Last, it would be worth a deep dive in the manual to figure out if the unit has a storage mode. Some units may stay partially energized even with the switch off, and so may wear out the battery in between gigs. Assuming that none of these issues are show stoppers for this unit, it would likely be fine. [/QUOTE]
