EcoTech Marine just announced and released a new and improved battery backup, made in-house, for their popular Vortech line of pumps. I'm the type of person that uses a computer UPS on at least one pump in every system I own or install, so this will definitely come in handy. At $165, it's not likely to replace my higher-capacity UPS devices, but its slim size and ability to back up two pumps is nice. Vortech and other prop-pumps are definitely inferior to closed loop style plumbing, but are much better than powerheads and the like.
Am I the only one that uses a battery backup device? Comment and let me know!

I also use a computer battery back device. I live where there alot of power outages and surges and do not want to come home to dead fish. I also have a battery operated air bubbler that has saved my behind many times. It will last for nearly the whole day if I set it on low so at least my fish get air.

Yep, they're awesome! They'll run for a long time, as well.
