When the power goes out:
Are we stuck with big ugly, low capacity UPS that convert DC power to AC so that out power brick can convert it back to DC again?
Or huge expensive power stations with wall plug style sockets?

New li-ion batteries have a bunch of USB Ports. USB C is cabable of 240w.
A monitor is 40w
A mini PC must be under 240w?

I vote we make USB power an option on everything, this would be a great way to run stuff for an hour or 2 from a smaller cheaper battery.

Using USB power for devices during outages could be a game-changer, offering a simpler and more efficient solution than traditional UPS systems.
