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

Okay, maybe you are learning too.
It's good you did - as I was on my way to remove you.
just seems as if the class was punished for the actions of a few.
Yes, the whole group was punished. The good list members didn't mind,
Kevin,
Thanks.

I have setup a forum for repeater builders. This is not meant as a
replacement of this group but as an enhancement and a way to have discussion
threads without having to have everyone on the list get a 1000 emails about
stuff they don't care about. If anyone wants any new forum groups started
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
through a single Schottky diode. Adjust the power

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.

If the Micor Power Supplies are either TPN1105A or TPN1106A yes,
the outputs are adjustable -
If not those
Is it capable of carrying 30 amperes or so?

I will have to check the p/n,but dont think they have the battery
option. Is there any obvious difference in the appearance of the battery
specific units? I will also look for the pot to turn these babys down,

I am now in charge of some club repeater sites which use the standard
Micor power supply. These have back-up batteries on them which are being
boiled dry by the 14.9V the power supply delivers,these supplies are not
the battery back-up versions. I am looking for a good solution to solve
this
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.
A common wall wart
However they come from the APC factory.

I use 12 volt 32AH (lead acid)batts from the scooter and thay work
great thay are sealed so no probs with spills
go to your local bat shop and ask them I got mine for $100
if you don't tell them you are not use'n them for a scooter thay

Fine response, Rick, but why not go to www.batterystuff.com/ and
take a look at their offerings, prices. Also, while there, take a look at
their tutorial, you may appreciate it.

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
