My UPS backup crapped out on me, Wont charge and replacement batts are 80 bucks. So I am taking suggestions on what to replace it with to protect my system below, I need to stay around 100 or less, any ideas?

    Why not just buy the replacement battery?

    A quality UPS will cost more than the battery.

    Example? For consumer use, not enterprise level.

    This is something I was thinking of getting

    Gnome said a replacement battery would be 80 bucks, that UPS you linked is 139, so I think a replacement UPS would cost more than a battery :)

    Correct indeed. I meant more along the lines of what Thrax was calling a quality UPS price range, but that wasn't clear. I often only put down half of what I'm thinking :(
