I have an APC 650 BackUPS Pro. If the power gets low can I plug the output of the UPS into its Input and get it to charge itself ??

There are no dumb questions...except that one.

On a funny note: you CAN plug two ups's into each other in a loop fashion. Will one run out and then the other kick in? Will they toggle back and forth? - it's funny, try it sometime. DISCLAIMER - batteries DO explode not that I would expect it to happen here.

On another funny note: Long time ago I was doing some helpdesk call for this lady who's computer wouldn't power up. I get behind the desk and there is a straight-up-NEST of frickin cables - it took me like 2-3 minutes to figure out that most her stuff was on this one power strip. So I dig around more trying to check where the power strip was plugged into (the light on it was out) and after a few I find it's plugged into another power strip. Dig dig dig for a little while longer (I did say NEST right?) and I come to the realization that the reason the power strip is not getting power is because it's plugged into itself!

Edit: For the record - I'm more a fedex guy myself.

I live right by the USPS, so that's what I use. I've been meaning to get one, though. If I buy from Newegg, they'll Fedex my UPS. :p
