I paid $150 for a set of two battery packs. Each one is made of of two batteries. I don't really have room for a rack.

Each of those can stand on its side and pretend to be a normal ups. Also, the UPS is 5.5 kVa, much bigger than what you have.

You're not serious about UPSes until you have marine batteries involved.



The actual UPS:



I'm down to 3 batteries though, those ones don't seem to last long, they tend to die from shorted cell. Going to go with golf cart batteries or even bigger solar rated batteries eventually.

those are some oddly shaped UPSes

 

[Red Squirrel]

Those are really interesting units and make funny noises too. Do not insert a pencil in the hole at the back, that is NOT a reset switch.

Hate to break it to you but that is not a kitten and it is wide awake.

February 10, 2014. I was picking up pizza from the other side of town. It was that good.

It was around 8pm. It was dark outside. Chilly.

I was crossing the Fielder Road bridge when I hit black ice that just formed as the temps dipped below freezing. Yup. I was the first one to hit the black ice. Lucky me.

I started to fishtail as I reached the crest. I know not to overreact on the brakes and steering to make it worse. But I ricocheted off the center dividing concrete ridge, sending me down the embankment on the other side. I hit air for a brief moment. I rode it out, coming to a stop when I t-boned the guardrail of the feeder road below.

Air bags deploy. I walk out without a scratch. Then the engine catches fire. I grab my valuables out of the car. The fire goes out fairly quickly.

I spent the next four hours waiting with police and then the wrecker. I could have died. The next vehicle after me (a full sized Suburban) wrecked and was disabled. We share a tow. It made for a long night. The police closed the bridge after that.

I guess the pizza was worth it? You got very lucky to walk away from that.
