A power conditioner is different from a UPS system. There is no battery back up at all. It is still a benefit to run since it will stop noise, surges, power spikes, over voltages, and most under voltage conditions. It will also help protect from most lightning strikes. Sola makes some of the best power conditioners. As long as you have it, I would say use it.
