Ongoing eletricity issues

I hooked the computer up to the UPS/backup battery (I had tried previously with the monitor also, and that was too much), and it works fine. However, I have to remember that the battery is drained very quickly, so I can't expect it to handle the power going off and on and off and on for hours. I have to shut it off after the first outage to give the battery a chance to charge again.

If this keeps happening, I'll probably buy a UPS for the internet gateway/wifi, since it would be nice to not constantly have it going out. Other than that, all is well.
