Would Boeing Surplus be a good source for these? Where can one locate the new gel cells?
Can these be purchased new at a computer supply place, like Office Depot? On 12/16/06, David Brodbeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Higher-end computer UPS units will do it. Look for one with "buck/boost" capability. APC's SmartUPS line has this, for example, but their cheaper BackUPS line does not. A UPS would also let you keep loads running while you shut the generator down to refuel. Used or surplus UPSs are often a good deal because a lot of people discard them when the batteries fail. The batteries are usually easy-to-replace, standard-size gel cells. I recently picked up three APC BackUPS units for $1 each at a computer surplus place, and all of them just needed new batteries.
