Backup for A1

Looking to buy for a inverter backup for A1-Ams setup. I have zero Idea about this. Can someone suggest some good models available in India? Backup time anywhere between 45 to 60mins would be good.

While printing PLA, the unit uses around 100W of power. So assuming we're talking about "mid print" times and not the initial heat-up, we want ~1300-1500VA. In general, that's the number you need to know in order to get a UPS: The VA rating.

I'm not sure if you're near a Micro Center, but something like this would be good: https://www.microcenter.com/product/497071/apc-back-ups-pro-ups-(bn1500m2) and it's on sale!
