Nice work, but I think you mean 900VA, not KVA!
From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcombat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Tyng Sent: Monday, 29 August 2011 9:05 PM To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: [TANKS] A Practicle Use for this Hobby So what does an R/C Tank Combateer do when the most over-hyped storm of the century manages to knock out power and the Sunday evening HBO programming is about to start? They grab an 900KVA UPS, an old extension cord, some crimp spade connectors, and a set of tank drive batteries and build an at home power generation plant! The tiny 7AH batteries were pulled from the UPS and the set of the Cromwell's 22AH batteries were patched in with the modified extension cord. The UPS required disassembly and removal of the peizo beeper with a pair of pliers so as not to disturb the HBO viewing with those "On Battery" audio warnings every thirty seconds. This setup ran the 19" LCD TV, cable HD box, cable modem, wireless access point, land-line phone system, and the wife's cell charger, providing a gamut of video, audio, and internet communications for the evening. Please note that powering of the 52" plasma display was not even considered on this setup. [X] [X] -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
