In need of battery back up
 
Hey guys I'm in need of a battery back up that I can just plug my power heads into only and if I have power outtage it will kick on. I forgot what they are called. It's not the ups type and are relatively inexpensive. And where can I get them locally.

Won't this only run for 13 minutes though? What if the power is out for a few hours?

You should only be hooking up a powerhead to it, itll run for hours.

The main thing I would want to run is a powerhead and a heater.. Looking at a backup generator but this might be good for me too..

Nix the heater and just run a powerhead. A heater is going to eat your battery like crazy. A 200w heater vs a 5w powerhead.....

Wrap the tank in blankets if yourr worried about heat loss.
