Probably so.
This is what we do in my place of work. We have a Cisco 4507 switch with power inline ports. All of the equipment in our server room, including that switch, is backed up by a Powerware UPS that has 40 marine batteries in it. As long as the switch has power, and our call manager server has power, then we have phones, whether or not the lights are on.
It doesn't really matter anyway, as we have a generator on site that will power the entire building for 3 days anyway. The UPS is only used for the 10 seconds or so it takes the generator to start up.
