Employee plugged space heater into the UPS

for 6-24 minutes.

If you're lucky.

I still want to try the marine battery thing one day. Would be fun.

printers kill UPS' too

My ups beeped when i tried running a laser printer. Apparently laser printers pull about 5A when warming up.

More than that average. The peak current is considerably higher.

RE: putting marine batteries on UPS...

That was covered in a thread in GH. Careful with such a project.

Yeah I never ended up trying it, I chickened out. I still want to try it one day, once I decide on the best method of getting rid of the hydrogen. As for the slight potential of a fire should something go wrong, I have a monitored fire system, which makes me feel a tad better, and I'd probably encase the entire thing in a drywall or cementboard enclosure.
