Definitely a product I've been thinking about... Lead-acid based UPC products have lingered on way too long into the lithium battery age.

I had a lead-acid based UPS which I plugged one DSL modem and my cordless telephone base station into the wall which would give me 3 days of modern communications into a power outage, which happens quite frequently in my location. Once my DSL got upgraded to fiber-to-the-node (with a 10x speed increase) my DSL would quit working when the power went out at the node so the UPS wasn't quite worth using anymore.



Sounds like you need Starlink.


I'm waiting for it to get some competition.
