Yes, but there's 2 sides to that story. It's a free UPS and that's really nice. But then I've seen old batteries degrade and swell. People call it the spicy pillow syndrome. And with two of my older devices, batteries got recalled by the manufacturer. So I'd advise against running these things 24/7 unattended. Either know what you're doing or rip it out before it burns down the building. As a minimum that includes a location made of concrete or bricks and mortar and no burnable stuff in the vicinity. And regular checks on the state of the battery.
