I'm using a cheap APC, I believe 650 or 750, with USB monitoring
hookup.  Also have my router connected (with VOIP) to keep
communication possible for a little while (runtime abt 30 minutes).

Somehow that makes no sense to me..... current 650 is 227 (maybe plus
VAT) on the APC website. 5 times the cost of the Pi. I'm sure it's a
very nice UPS, but.... ???

This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eaton-850B-UPS-Uninterruptible-Type

@ (today) 126 UKP is similar to the
APC, includes shutdown & monitoring via USB + software.  I trust Eaton
as much (or more) as APC.

Speaking of Eaton, I've found they have Eaton 3S Mini UPS which seems to
be good a match for my original purpose. And price of around 50 eur makes
 it a cheapest brand-name option so far :)
