Not even commercial installations demand that type of hold time.  Those 
things take sealed L-A batteries weighing in at about 1/2 ton each (I 
work with a facility that has six of these.)If you want a 2 hour holdup

Those things come in at about USD 50K each as well.  They would hold 
your home PC setup for hours and hours.  A Honda self start generator is 
much less expensive.
