So in my case they are momentary voltage drops. It can accept 81-145V and will throw an error and turn off outside of that. It used to happen a lot, but there have been recent improvements, and it has only happened once in the last couple months.

And yeah, configuring priority by plug is basically how my current system works. These ones turn off at 50%, these ones at 25% and this one goes all the way until the end. As long as there is a plan to do something along those lines, that fits the use case.

An important feature for me would be 3rd party replacement batteries. Ideally I want to be able to go up to Batteries+ / Interstate Battery / whatever local battery place and pick up a replacement. All my current UPSs are Lead Acid and I can just go up the street and get a new one. If its using something like a standard deep cycle marine battery that I can pull out and swap for a new one, then I would be interested. If its totally proprietary and I have to rely on you still making them in 5-10 years when I need a new one, then it is far less interesting.

And yeah, there are the 4 outlets on the main device. I was referring to the accessories on the Tech Specs page. I know they aren't out yet. Just expressing interest in more plugs. Something with 3 doesn't really do much for me. I have something like 8-10 plugs here at my desk. And a similar amount in the living room. One with 3 plugs on it only nets you 2 additional plugs. It would be a huge mess.
