I just checked Craigslist.com, Dallas (were I live) and found 5 of them for sale. Priced $50 - $150. Check out your local craigslist.
I have had one in-line since the 90s. If/When the power goes out, mine will power the laptop for 2-3 hours and a string of LED lights (probably) for months.

it doesn’t, the SmartUPS does. the UPS models referenced above are not SmartUPS models. SmartUPS machines are expensive. APC has 3-models ranging from $280-$450. i found one on APC’s website and all three on Amazon.
one of APC’s SmartUPS models.
All of APC’s SmartUPS models.
