How do you know when power is out? How do you know how much run-time
you have left?

Because for the cost I get 14 hours on my MeanWell/battery combination
and about 4 on a UPS with the same batteries. UPS/inverter uses a lot
of the power to make the 120VAC. Then I need a power supply to make it
24VDC, which wastes more. Using the MeanWell, or the unit Kurt
mentions, allows 1 power supply to provide the DC I need without
wasteful conversions.
The monitoring is nice and I have that at a couple of sites, but this
has been working great for me.

Why not use an actual APC UPS and extra batteries? That way you can
monitor the power, have an estimate of run-time when the power goes out,
and get email alerts.

I am starting to put everything on a 24v setup of the APC 7/13ah batteries
with a Battery Tender (batterytender.com) The battery tender acts like a
constant power source and charge controller all in one. This works really
well as I can set up a site for around $175 and get 6-24 hours runtime
depending on what I have hooked to it. Way better than any UPS.
