Hey guys, i saw the thread on this UPS from Staples for $99.00 and decided to try it.

After letting it charge for a couple of days i decided to test it last night. The only thing plugged into the UPS is my Magdrive5 return pump (45 watts). I was able to get 3 1/2 hours out of the UPS before it started beeping indicating low battery. Not too bad but i was hoping for longer. I'm sure if i plugged in a lower wattage power head i would have better results.
Just wanted to let you guys know in case you were wondering. So what do you think is it worth it?
