APC makes good UPS' . Just be sure you have a regular schedule to change the
batteries. I would recommend 2 to 3 years.
Stay away from their air conditioners, they are crap.

Don, If this is your requirements, you may need to think about going to
a straight battery back-up. $200.00 may make a good downpayment on a
UPS that will give you any type of repeater running time.

I don't know what the 200.00 is going to get you but pay the shipping cost. We
use a lot of Best Power UPS and the last one I got used from Ebay was $1000.00
and that was without Batteries.Your other think you may look at is if all
the equipment is 12VDC and back it up that way.

That was going to be my suggestion... You gain a boatload of efficiency
that way.. Just build a 12v AGM battery bank and float it with a power
supply.. oh yea.. 0ms switchover is a perk too.

I've been using Belkins with my computer clients. APC is the old name in

You can get SU2200RM3U units for that price on eBay.
These weigh 50 lbs and the 8 batteries weigh another
50 lbs. It may be easier to get a unit without
batteries, then buy those separately. It could cost
nearly $90 for all the shipping.
Even at this capacity, the units typically won't give

Hello Don,
AGM batteries, IOTA power supply/ charger. Do a google search on each. DO
NOT CHARGE ATM BATTERIES WITH A CHEEP CHARGER!!! Only one time with a cheep
charger is enough to totally destroy one. And they will not warranty it if you
do.

Don,
Don't be in a big rush to provide AC backup power if your repeater can float
on batteries. My local electric utility is going to cough up about $1,300
to repair a commercial repeater that suffered a scrambled memory because the
well-meaning site operator installed a large APC UPS to protect
