Would a monitor be just an electronic device if the question didn't mention anything about it being connected to a computer? A printer? If one views a UPS as an important computer peripheral that is a permanent part of a computer system (and most consumer units are sold for that purpose, even though they can also be used with other equipment), aspects that are basic to their proper use and routine user maintenance ought to be on-topic. | |

Some UPSes allow connection of additional batteries (which aren't included, but can be bought separately) to provide longer on-battery time. So, I would suggest that the last point should emphasize operations that aren't officially supported by the manufacturer (or similar wording). | |
