---- In relation to what you can get for $6K (ex GST), a good friend is offloading an Emerson Series 7400 60kVA UPS that will provide 48kW of power... New batteries were installed 2 to 3 years ago and have a life of around 10. Interested, contact me off list. UPS plus batteries are located in Adelaide.
