Thx much. I will check those out. I prefer APC as I've had far better experience with them and like their support. I've had bad experiences with Tripp Lites in the past.
I found this one -- APC BG500-- for around $300 and it says it will do email alerts.
I picked up one of these before they were discontinued. At 5lbs it’s so easy to transport. Not sure why they were discontinued so quickly.
Some UPS can send and email under certain circumstances (i.e. power outage).
I have not tested this one, just the first example I could find.
Found one on Amazon, $266, dunno what shipping would add tho http://www.amazon.com/APC-BG500-Back-UPS-Pro-500/dp/B00DW2J7SY
> > (Remember, you are the guy who compared a UPS to the Note 7 which has a lithium battery, and is not even close to being in the same situation?)
The way a battery functions is through a chemical reaction, which both a lithium ion battery and a lead acid are based on (lithum ion happens to be a bit more efficient) and both have similar risks. Also there is UPSes that use lithium ion batteries.

yes it is a similar risk see this
> I did not ask for your advice, because I already know that its perfectly safe to do this.
I'm just pointing out the risks to you, your family, and your property. I can see you are convinced and are going to do this regardless of the risks and recommendations...
