The Technical Definition of a UPS;
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) A device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide power for 2-5 minutes enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner or at least save your work when the power goes out.!!!

Surge Suppression and Voltage Regulation
A surge protector filters out surges and spikes, and a voltage regulator maintains uniform voltage during a brownout, but a UPS keeps a computer running when there is no electrical power. UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may provide voltage regulation.

A standby UPS, also called an "offline UPS" is the most common type of UPS found in a computer or office supply store. It draws current from the AC outlet and switches to battery within a few milliseconds after detecting a power failure allowing the computer to run without interruption.
