[Repeater-Builder] Re: Battery backup

[Doug Dickinson]

The best arrangement I have seen so far is the Powergate PW40S which has the 
built-in 3 stage charger. I have used them and they are really good with a zero 
time switchover so none of the little electrons in the controller get confused 
and reset or worse, lockup the controller. It also charges the battery the 
RIGHT way, with a 3 stage charger. It can be duplicated I am sure, but at the 
price, I just would buy it and spend the time tinkering with the RF for a good 
repeater.
   
  IMHO
