Re: Super-small UPS

If size is really the issue you could do a Rube Goldberg version by putting something like this together:

However, you can buy a commercial 350 VA UPS now for about $40, so why mess with piecing it together unless you already have a component or two just laying around (like the inverter or battery.)

Edited to add: APC used to make a 200VA model, but have discontinued it and the 350 is the smallest they make now. Price and size difference were so minimal it didn't make sense to sell the 200VA model when for about $5 more you could have 150VA more.
