Surge Suppressor on UPS

Is there any problem with connecting a surge suppressor into a UPS? Managed to get one, but the UPS itself is in a really tight space and plugging in things is a bit difficult.
 
I just did this last night so I could plug my router and switch into the battery ports. They had large plugs and they wouldn't fit in the UPS on their own. Works fine.
 
Although this works it can theoretically drastically reduce battery time on UPSs that do not produce a "Pure Sine Wave". Put the surge protector on the other side of the ups or use a power strip without a surge protector on the battery ports of the UPS.

I temporarily have a power strip/surge protector in a battery side plug on my UPS, is that kind of ok while the power is on?

When I turn off my PC and other things later today, I'll change which plug they're in.
