True, but the UPS setup I recommended below will run a 50 watt load for
about 105 hours. Without the noise and exhuast a generator creates.
Problem is it's over 3 grand. For those of us that live in apartments,
generators are not an option.

For less than $200 you could assemble similar system yourself
with marine battery + one relay + cheapo inverter and some wire.
