It could, but ... it pulls about 4 amps, so it'd have to be a pretty heavy UPS.
It doesn't take that long to get it out and set up most of the time, and we don't get that many power cuts so it's just another thing to trip over / the cat to attack.

She has portable cylinders she can use, just they hold only 1/10th of the "main tank" - and it's kept in my tool storage room behind a closed door to minimize the risk of becoming and oxidizing agent and starting a big fire.

That and I don't trust the concentrator - I think it's a "noisy" device, as it blacks out the TV from time to time and the noise would hit the UPS from the "clean" side. Plus the last time I bought a UPS it took three deliveries before I got one that worked at all - they are heavy little buggers and couriers drop them a lot! Laugh | :laugh:
