Plan the shutdown before the outage.
A UPS buys controlled time, not indefinite runtime. The planning question is the connected load, the transfer behaviour your equipment tolerates and a clean alert-and-shutdown route before the battery ends.
Load, headroom and transfer
List the workstation, NAS, switch or server load in watts, keep output headroom, and check the UPS transfer time against what the connected equipment tolerates.
Software control completes the plan
A UPS that can tell the equipment to shut down cleanly protects data better than one that simply runs to empty. Match the control route to the operating system and equipment.
