If the power goes out - I don't really care what the manufacturer says - you've only got a few minutes of runtime.  You're best to wait 5 minutes and then do a graceful shutdown.  If your intent is to keep operating, you better get a generator.

BTW, Even if there is no device plugged into the UPS, the internal leakage of the UPS will drain it in something like 30 minutes.
