It's not just a RAM crisis — Panasonic says data center batteries are also selling out months in advance (www.techradar.com)

Panasonic has said demand for backup batteries is rising quickly, and it is largely driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure that requires stable, continuous power. It has already allocated around 80% of its planned output to existing customers, leaving only a limited share for new buyers attempting to scale systems.

Ya they don't have that ability yet. If it was on something you'd want to shut down cleanly you'd want to be there to do it yourself or be able to remotely do it. The advantage of these new LFP ones though is it can last for hours instead of minutes, so there isnt a huge rush, and if your outages are short, it might not be an issue.

Edit: i had my internet, a couple security cameras and a small low power computer running some things last the whole ~1h45m outage last time I was away and power went out.
