I don't use battery backup stuff yet and I did see that Eaton bought them around the time I picked these up. Hopefully they don't make the brand worse, as so often happens these days. My hospital actually used the same surge protectors I have. Although they sometimes add more as we expand and seem to be using cheaper ones now. They just don't feel as nice, for whatever that's worth (I don't know anything else about them). Maybe they are better but I have doubts based on using them.
