PriUPS uses the older (NHW-11) pack of 276V nominal NiMH cells, which gives a typical 300V unloaded. The newer (5-6kVA) rack mounted Powerware 9125 variant seems to use 240V DC which would be close although a little on the low side still...

I seem to recall something like either AC or DC? Doesnt the PRIUPS take 200+v DC into a UPS and output 110vAC --- On Sun, 2/10/13, Tom Hudson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Tom Hudson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVs as power source To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, February 10, 2013, 6:38 PM Yes, I had a custom inverter built that connects to the battery pack of either my 144V Solectria E-10 or 156V Solectria Force and provides 120VAC at 15A. I have used it as a backup power source for our outdoor pond circulation pump, refrigerator and upright freezer during a power outage, and it works great. Gives real peace of mind that a power outage won't be catastrophic, and at the very least gives me plenty of time to set up a gas generator if I need to. I need to go do a little research and see if the outfit that put this together for me is still around and I'll post a followup message. -Tom On 2/10/2013 2:56 PM, EVDL Administrator wrote: > I seem to recall that several years ago, Tom Hudson bought an inverter > suited to the156v battery in his Solectria Force.
