UPS backup power

Kronk · #1 10-07-2006, 02:09 AM

I have an opportunity to buy a bunch of UPS but I will have to purchase new batterys for them... would anyone be interested, the price will be about $150 with new batterys

they are rated up to 945watts full load... with 50% load they should be able to run a reef aquarium for over an hour if power went out. Freshwater a little longer because there is less equipment / wattage.

I am just finding out if there is enough interest... if there is I will buy the lot and sell them individually in the buy/sell forum.

let me know a soon as possible...
thanks,
Ken

These weigh 60lbs so shipping would be pricey... i am in langley, BC

You probably already know this but be careful when you swap those batteries, those big inverters are dangerous. I might still have an APC training video around somewhere if you need it.

Too bad shipping these will be so expensive.

Cool i will get the batteries. I should have mentioned originally that these are USED they were backing up some communications equipment for the past few years. With a new battery they will be good as new, there really isnt much in these things that age other than the battery

I will PM you guys when i get them together.

APC su1400net

look at the "Batteries and Runtime" values on the spec sheet these are correct, the original spec sheet i looked at was INCORRECT it was for a rack mounted model. I think you can expect alot more time out of the UPS than listed if you are running PC lighting.

Here are a couple pics of the units

Thanks,
Ken

they provide electricity via batteries in the event of a power outage. Depending on the size of battery and power load will determine how long these devices will provide electricity. Most people keep one or two powerheads running just to keep the circulation.

I am also interested in one. Let us know when they arrive and are ready.
