Bill, The simplest power system for a 4801 is a battery bank. Connect up has many gel cells as you have and connect them to a trickle charger. I have been running my 4801 from batteries for more than 3 years with no power problems. I have had other problem like a drive going bad.
I am very impressed with the service of my 4801. Pain in the ass to install the OS, FC5. The PXE install took 3 hours. The serial console install is not very well supported but it did work. -- William Estrada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ( 64.124.13.3 ) > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:14:37 +0200 > From: Bill Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Soekris] Lightweight UPS > To: "soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com" <soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain > > > Hi, > > here's a question that's been in my mind for a while now: is there some > widely available toy or other mass-produced item that happens to have an > excellent loader and batteries which can easily be ripped out and could > serve as a lightweight UPS for my 2 Soekris boxes?
