Try the SMART1000LCD, 1000VA / 500 watts, from Costco, $89.00. Pull the battery, buy two more just like it from Interstate Battery, make 2 lines apx. 20 inches each with 1 male and 3 female. plug in male to ups threaded thru vents, put the three batteries on top the case and plug in. For ease of handling duct tape the batteries together horizontally. They will always come back when power is applied(default is ON), until circuit failure, about 4-5 years. Less if you have really bad power, like on a old dairy, maybe 3 years.

(Although never used the snmp card) We've pulled almost all of them out to date. The reason we stopped using them is that like all other consumer UPSes, they tend to fail bad, when batteries die, and not restore power to the equipment until a site visit to remove UPS from service. (although we did like that it has a physical on/off switch, not just button, to force UPS on state). Whats also a pain is that the internal batteries are NOT easilly removable. You have to take it apart in half, and hope not to short anything in the process, and prey the leads stay on when put back togeather. (unless they've changed the cases, for better access, since) Tom DeReggi RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <lm7...@gmail.com> To: "WUG" <us...@wug.cc>; "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 5:12 PM Subject: [WISPA] Adding External Batteries to a UPS > Looking at this UPS. > > http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=3007 > > It is small enough to fit in our standard outdoor enclosures.
