We had a UPS to end all UPS's in each hole at the old titan sites I help build in late 61/62. Each cell, was a wet cell nicad, in a glass container that was at least a 5 gallon container. I forget the number of cells but IIRC it was 36 volts so I suppose there were 30 in the rack. Had cables that make 6 volt auto battey cables look like fishing line, and could in a pinch, make enough power to actually launch the bird if the central generators should quit. They were neat too, 3 each big 6 cylinder rigs, each bucket only slightly smaller than that same 5 gallon bucket. ISTR they were run at 900 rpm, with a 1050 redline shutdown. Quarter of a megawatt each.
Those cells had, with the proper care, a 30 year lifetime according to the docs we got from Sonotone. And they supplied about a 10 year supply of the recommended liquid makeup stuff. >On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 1:23 PM, Gene Heskett <gene.hesk...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Sunday 26 April 2009, Rainer Schmidt wrote: >>>After wasting an hour searching I ask the list for help.... >>>I try to switch back to the Vesa driver to see if the NVidia driver on >>>my box is responsible for the fatal timing errors of my little box >>>here.... >>> >>>I dried Dexconf but that dies with a "FATAL: Module battery not found." >>>Obviously I have to buy batteries separate for this toy... but where >>>do I insert them? >>>I also used the common: >>> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg >>>But that fails for the same reason after the keyboards have been defined. >>> >>>A search in the Ubuntu Site has not revealed any hints... >>> >>>Help! >>>Rainer >> >> Later ubuntu's may require you fabricate an /etc/X11/xorg.cong file.
