A UPS has 2 major properties.  One is the amount of power it can put out.  
The other is the battery size which translates into how long it will last.

The low cost market is for a unit that will last long enough to let a PC and 
friends shut down cleanly.  The battery isn't very big.  It will cover 
typical blink-the-lights glitches.  Beyond that, the time is measured in 
minutes rather than hours.
