I would say OK if you want to dual purpose but dedicated UPS is going to offer a lot more features. Straight from their website:
"It can be an emergency power source (EPS), which will have the same result as UPS for most electronics. Here's the difference.When your RIVER is plugged into the wall, anything plugged into it gets power from the grid, not its battery. If power from the grid stops, RIVER automatically switches to its battery supply mode within 30 milliseconds. That means anything connected will not have power for 30 milliseconds, which may mean sensitive electronics like desktop computers and data servers turn off. Test your devices individually to see if they need UPS to stay powered."

Sounds like you're suggesting daisy-chaining UPS and this power station. Daisy-chaining UPSes isn't recommended:

Thank you and repped, this is super informative. I am trying to use it for my POE Switch that powers my cameras. For some reason, they fail over when we lose power and need to manually reconnect them. I think UPS will be a better option.

Anyone got their refurb items before? Are these used or simply like new?

A way to get around the momentary power loss would be to use a smaller UPS between this device and the devices you're powering. Benefits of both. No idea if this will cause a different issue though.

The battery add-on is also on sale for $180


EDIT:
I got one of the older deals with the allstate warranty for $185.
I've depleted the battery twice now and charged back up with no issues.

Biggest complaint was app setup. Took many failures of the same process to finally go through.
Updated firmware though with no issue.
