I helped install batteries, generators and other UPS equipment in a local
building for their various long distance company tenants.  I seem to
remember that each of the 4 or 5 telecomm tenants would have 50,000-100,000
pounds of batteries, and we put 4 or 5 BIG generators in the basement
parking garage.  The batteries alone would probably run your PC for a year.
