[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1911391, member: 307555"] I prefer CyberPower UPS. I have several in my home since power outages and surges have taught me the necessity. I also use them at work. With that said, you will not need much if all you plan to plug into it is your MBP's charger. Your MBP already has a lot of protection built in and has its own battery backup. I do have a UPS for the MPB's charger as just a precaution. The APC company has a really nice [URL='https://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/tools/ups_selector']UPS calculator[/URL] that will help you determine your size needs. I find the brand expensive and have had to replace more of them than the CyberPowers so I do have a preference. UPS are rated by VA (volt amps) and W (watts). Without a lot of details just know the higher the number the more capacity or length of time it will last during a power outage. Some examples: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cyberpower+ups&crid=24EX35ANTY5QU&sprefix=cyberp%2Caps%2C1324&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_6[/URL] Lisa [/QUOTE]
