Do I really need a sine wave nobreak?
Edit: In spanish and portuguese, an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is called a nobreak.
I just bought a nobreak, and I found out it's not sine wave, they warned me it can cause damage to my PC.
I just want to use it when power is on, I don't want to use it in battery mode for long periods, if power in my house goes down, I will just turn off my PC, that makes it safe to use even if it's not sine wave, correct?
I heard that this warning is outdated and modern fonts work without sine wave just fine, correct?
Also, I heard that as long as the PC stays on when power goes off and the nobreak is in battery mode, it's safe, correct?
