Do I still need an AVR while using an UPS?

Good Day People,

I need some opinions if some of you are using UPS.

Do I still need an AVR?

coz I'm planning to buy some to protect my PC, but I'm confuse because some UPS has TRUE AVR and some don't. Please enlighten me!

AVR is just a bonus. You don't need it ever...but they SAY it saves wear and tear on the battery.

So it's good to use a UPS without the need of an AVR. Hmm, I mildly doubt. :/

Without AVR, the UPS would just operate on battery instead when under or overvoltage occurs. If you live in an area where prolonged rolling brownouts occur because of insufficient infrastructure, then the UPS could run out of juice leaving you with no power even though the outlet is still partially energized. If not, then there is no difference.
