It's less about the batteries and more about mitigating power surge, with the laptops. We get so much lightning here that we'll probably have the power company install surge protection outside the house, at the meter, which reduces the problem, and if we don't get a UPS for the laptops, we'll buy the mega surge things that the power company sells, if we can't find comprable (and cheaper ones) elsewhere.
