Nope, because having enough batteries and a large enough UPS to run a data center for a long time would cost many more times the cost of a generator ;)
Yes, because I wasn't talking about Data Centre scale UPSs.
Well for a "home scale" UPS you are looking at perhaps something around 1Kva which will give you up to 10 minutes runtime then you would be looking at paying 100-150 quid.
1kVa for 10 min ? Some tiddly little battery in it then ?
I've got a couple of 100Ah 12V batteries sitting here for running ex-military 24V radios so that's 1kW for well over an hour !

Whereas you can buy a 2.3Kva Generator for 200-250 quid.
