Hi,

Again, you need to be careful... the charging unit in the smaller UPS systems (700, 1000, 1400) is not designed to run for 3-4 days to charge up 10 batteries that were drained from an outage. You will burn up the UPS.

I would not recommend more than 4 external batteries on any small UPS.

space for.

Can anyone share how to hook up batteries in parallel vs. series?

Also, once you put in the SNMP card, you can tell it how many external
batteries you have.  This is a way of estimating how much runtime you will
have.  It's not accurate, because you're using different batteries than it
expects.  For 2 batteries, I enter in 4 external batteries for this value.
It is as close as I've found you can get it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try one.

I'm wondering how many batteries I can gang together using the ups you
mentioned.

UPS - $45 on ebay (buy one without batteries)
SNMP card - $125 on ebay
2 batteries & 2 outdoor battery compartments: $150-$175 (more, depending
on battery quality).  I get mine at Bimart.
misc connectors & wire $20

I had one site up for 36 hours with Trango Tlink, small switch, and
Tranzeo AP.  I thnk that's best-case-scenario.

Not sure how much I need really. It's the downtime.
This one pop has a trango, a wrap a metro and a cheap switch. Usually
when it looses power it could be 24 hours or more.

With your set up, how much do you pay including the 2 rv batteries and
how long have you had for a power outage?

I just ordered one of the cheapo generics for my house to check out.
But generic usually leaves that feeling of uncertainty that makes me
uneasy.

George, are you really needing that much?  3KVA?  Or is it the higher
battery capacity you're wanting?

I buy used APC Smart-UPS SU700NET from ebay, without batteries.  Then
I buy
a couple RV batteries and hook them up (outside the enclosure, of
course).
I put in a AP9617 SNMP device and it gives me a little remote control
w/e-mail notification.  Doesn't do everything I want (PDU-ability to
power
off each receptacle individually, watchdog).

On a remote site, it'll give anywhere from 12-24 hours depending on
load &
whatchya got out there...

I need to buy a few ups's for some remote pops.

I was looking at APC and the place I buy stuff from had these:

http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?ID=52353&C=216&S=-1

Is this worth buying, or should I go with APC at twice the price?
