A car battery is not designed for that kind of thing. A car battery is designed to deliver a short but large burst of power to start a car, and after that the load is much lower. A server back-up battery is better matched to this task. I call mine "big yellers" since they are a bright yellow color. I can't place my hands on the paperwork at the moment, the office is a wreck, but they came from the same electronics store I referenced in an earlier post. It was a special buy so I loaded up. I change 'em out every 6 months, beginning and end of hurricane season, 2 in service and 2 charged and ready at all times. Running on a SmartUPS 750 TrippLite.
And if that should all fail I have some solar panels and some batteries for those. Not for the editor ironically. I just like to play with toys. joe salerno On 4/25/2012 2:58 PM, Uwe Soltau wrote: > I tried exactly that with my UPS and connected a car battery. > Nearly blew the unit.
