Freezers?

[Peptidase]

Bought the -40 degree freezer many talk about here on Amazon. Has been working really well. Cheap solution IMO for long term pep storage. The premium associated with getting the -80 freezers does not seem worth it at this time IMO.

If you can get it to withstand the inrush current from the compressor starting on the freezer, then it probably wont last longer than an hour at most for your consumer level 1500va ups (given the tiny batteries they use). When we size them for server racks, they start to get not only humongous, but down right expensive.

My personal solution was to get one of those "power stations" that a lot of generator companies are selling now as they are much cheaper and are general purpose. Originally, it was for short power outages where I didn't want to hook up the generator but I find it incredibly useful for other stuff like camping.

That's the one I have and doing some basic math, you should get ~11 hours out of it at 80 watts assuming continuous draw (not likely).

Took your advice and obtained a power supply. I got an Anker 757 Portable Power Station. It’s rated at 1229Wh. This thing is a beast! It would run my little freezer for just over 15 hours IF it were running the whole time. With the way the freezer only kicks on as needed (as you mentioned continuous draw) I’m confident this would at last well over 24 hours with no problems at all. Now I have the peptides in little styrofoam coolers inside the freezer, with ice packs taking up any extra space in the freezer. Until I get to the lab freezer point, I think I can weather any outages in my part of the state. If we lose power longer than that we have bigger problems than peptides. Lol
