Whether you’re in the middle of a boss level or writing a big report, the last thing you need is a power outage wiping out all your hard work.
Fortunately, there are uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to protect your electronics when the inevitable blackout happens. You can buy the CyberPower EC850LCD UPS system for 30% off on Thursday as one of Amazon’s deals of the day. It’s regularly $97.95, but you can order one for $65.95 during the deal.
This Energy Star-qualified system comes with 12 total surge-protected outlets, six of which can be used as battery backup in the event of a power outage. Any power abnormalities can damage your hardware and shorten its lifespan. The battery backup outlets allow for emergency runtime, so you can save and safely shut down. When connected to the USB management port, it detects when your computer is off or in sleep mode and the outlets will automatically turn off for efficiency. You can view the current status on the LCD screen.

The CyberPower EC850LCD UPS system also comes with software that allows you to manage runtime, test performance and log events. So you can help prevent power surges from happening in the first place, and get back to that report.
