Is there any technical term/knowladge I should know when I want to buy? ex. Don't buy UPS with 'XYZABC' technology because blablabla.... Thank you

I don't know about your area, but here in the Philippines sags, spikes and brownouts are common. If that happens much there (i.e. low voltage), I would suggest making sure it has a built in AVR (automatic voltage regulator). Most here are simply a buck/boost transformer, kicking in a few extra coils when the voltage gets low. This can save big on the battery, which would otherwise kick in. I would also suggest getting one with an interface cable to be able to communicate with the computer to be able to shutdown in an orderly fashion should a power failure happen.

Hi, I use Best Patriot 750va for all my server installations. Using the monitor and PC/Server onthe UPS it lasts for approximately 45 - 50 mins until the server automatically shuts down the machine.

Thank you for all of you that answer my Q. I bought a PowerStar UPS with a connection to computer. It's the 650VA model. I really hope this will improve my computing experience in Linux. ;)
