Why? Is your PS4 a critical appliance that needs to power down gracefully? Do you have business stuff on your PC that you cannot absolutely have interrupted mid-edit? Will you put a UPS on your modem and the splitter box (the big box from Shaw/Telus) as well? Are you prepared to replace them every 3-5 years once the battery goes? It's a lead-acid unit most of the time, so heavy as hell. And they're not cheap, starting at $50-150 for a basic unit.

Most UPSes give you 5-10 minutes on a regular PC, less for TV/etc with higher power draw. The more devices you plug into it the less time you have. Once power goes out start saving and shutting down all equipment. It is not meant to power equipment through an outage, just to give you time to shut it down.

Or are you talking about a power filter/surge protector?
