For comparison, this model has an $80 list price but usually sells for around $40. Amazon has the non-USB version currently listed at $45. Rated 4.2/5 stars. I’ve had this UPS for a few years now and I can speak to the benefits of having battery-powered USB ports in a storm. It will also keep your modem and router running for up to four hours, too.

• The BGE90 UPS backup battery helps you stay connected to the Internet during power outages
• Ultra efficient small UPS design maximizes runtime for low-power devices such as Amazon Echo and network routers
