what to use for back up power?

[drock59]

just wondering what people would recommend for a bare bones back up sytem. Just something that would keep my heater and a couple of power heads running for about 10 hours?

Also, is this all i really NEED to keep running?

Don't know what your budget is but some reefers use APC UPS (normally used to provide b/u power for computer systems).

that is what i am wondering? how much it will cost me. Ive used comp backups in the past and they didnt work very well.
