Well, it is not viable to run PC of the batteries (for long), but hooking it up directly to the battery of the UPS (so UPS charges that battery) is what I intend to do (There is nowhere to purchase them in my country yet :-( ).
Looking at the way the picoPSU implements the +12V output, it should be possible to use the lm_sensors package in CentOS, or the motherboard manufacturer's utility (like SuperoDoctor for Supermicro motherboards) and get an alarm and an orderly shutdown based on the +12V line's voltage. Could be an interesting application....
But until you can get one.....
