Why you need a battery backup

In an era where so much depends on computers, few things are more
important than making sure that your data is safeguarded. Whether you
are using a computer for personal or business reasons, an unexpected
power loss can leave you without your personal files, precious photos,
financial information, crucial company data, and more. For this reason
it is absolutely essential to have a way to protect your files and
programs from the dangers of power outages, surges, and brownouts. A
loss or surge in power can not only cause you to lose the files you were
working on at the time, but also can lead to hardware damage that can
result in damage to other files, and even your computer itself. A
battery backup is the simple and elegant solution to these problems, and
is the best way to stave off a host of potential problems.

Having a battery backup provides you with ample power to save files in
open applications, and properly shut down your computer, so that you can
avoid damaging your hard drive. This means that you can prevent
priceless files from being destroyed or corrupted, but you don't have to
worry about having to take your computer in for expensive,
time-consuming repairs that may not even be capable of restoring your
system to the state it was in before. Battery backups contain enough
battery power to allow you to finish your work, save it and greacefully
shut down without losing any data. This gives you enough time to finish
any projects you have in progress during a power outage, but also, if
you are in the midst of an extended outage, you will have time to get
important work done and maintain your productivity.
