There are a few reasons that Zero Surge does not currently offer a line of UPS.
- Zero Surge protection never wears out. All batteries have a finite lifespan. Combining the two devices could mean having to dispose of a perfectly good surge protector.
- Zero Surge protection circuits are the same for a whole range of applications. Batteries used in UPS units come in different chemistries (lead and lithium so far) and they are sold in a large variety of battery capacities (normally sold by their VA rating).
- UPS units are extremely price competitive, and our smaller size would not allow the economics of competing in that market.
It makes more sense for you to select the right UPS for your specific needs and place a Zero Surge ahead of the UPS. For example, say you have a need for a 650VA UPS today. You use a Zero Surge 2R15W ahead of the UPS. A year from now, you expand your system to add a couple more devices that need battery backup, so you purchase a 1000 VA UPS. Since you are still under a total load of 15 amps, you would not need to purchase another Zero Surge unit. This is the value of keeping a separate Zero Surge unit.
