Update (2/5 12:05pm): OXA USA via Amazon offers the DBPOWER 6-outlet + 6-Port USB Power Strip for $20.79 Prime shipped (Reg. $26) after promo code NKOSXO2J is applied.

Best Buy offers the APC Back-UPS (BGE50ML) 84VA Battery Back-Up System for $89.99 shipped. For comparison, it originally retailed for $140 and still fetches between $110-$130 at many retailers like Amazon. Today’s deal is the first significant discount that we have tracked.

This is the one of the newest releases from APC. It features a unique design from the rest of the models in its lineup. Aside from offering a traditional surge protected two-outlet back-up power supply, it has three USB ports. One of which is capable of putting out 2.4A, while the other two are 1A. Even better? There is a removable power bank that is capable of recharging “a smartphone five times from 0 to 100 percent.” With the power supply in its docking station, this system is capable of running your modem and router for 2.5 hours in the event of an outage. We highly-recommend having one of these under your desk.

Early reviews are positive, much like the rest of APC’s popular back-up systems.

Looking for something a bit more cost-effective? You can get all the peace of mind + USB ports without the power bank for $55. This is the model that I personally use.

The APC Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML is the industry’s first combination UPS and Lithium-Ion mobile power pack. Designed to power wireless networks for hours during storms and blackouts, the BGE50ML’s battery (M12USWH) is also a mobile power pack which can be removed to charge tablets and smartphones on the go. The Mobile Power Pack provides approximately 5 full charges to a smart phone without needing to be recharged, an excellent solution for heavy mobile users. When the mobile power pack is docked, the UPS (50 watts capacity) provides 2.5 hours of backup power to a home or small business network. Connect to the internet during outages and power your mobile devices on the go with the Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML.
