Ok, I need a backup system as simple and as cheap as possible for my repeaters,
one is a Standard RP-70U and the other is built out of two Motorolas.
Been getting a lot of power outtages in the past few days, because of the high
winds blowing down here. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well,what I came up with is since the Micor supplies arent
adjustable,was two silicon diodes in the charging circuit. Drops it to
13.5v then added a contactor,normally closed,with a 125vac coil to
connect direct to the batteries during an outage. I will post the
results once implemented. 73,
There is a simple way to have a reliable backup battery system without a relay.
Try this:
Connect your fused repeater power cable directly to the battery terminals,
without any intervening devices. Connect your power supply to the battery

Do not use off the shelf battery chargers, commonly found at Wal-Mart.
These are SMPS conviently located with a 600kHz operating frequency.
Try an LM-317 set as a constant current regulator to trickle the
battery with C/100, Say 1 Amp for a typical Deep Cycle marine battery.

That's a very good price. Another possibility is to get year-old 12V
26Ah SLA batteries free from your local hospital. It must be a law that

You first want to check the circuit diagram to
see if a paralleled external voltage source (your
battery bank) doesn't cause "regulator backfeed"
problems in the base/repeater power supply
