For thoes talking about using a UPS.
I have a question. ARE you powering the AC side of your repeaters
from the UPS? If so what about the input current rating of the power
supplies and the fact that it is terrably in-efficient to take
13.8VDC input run it through an inverter,a step up

Any UPS that is big enough to handle the load of a
repeater is usually powered by 24 volts or more
(many 12 volt batteries in series).
The one I just listed uses an internal DC voltage
of 48 volts,
My machines all run 12 volts when I loose 120Vac the only thing I
loose is the power amp so the machine goes from 180 watts down to 30
watts the UPS backup is for the Computer in the shack. when that dies
Ohh well no big loss the backup Generator should be running
before that happens...

Last night my power supply took a dump! Good thing for backups.
Anyways, what I am wanting to do is put 3 marine batteries together
to run the power
I only use it to run the computers,main repeaters are full time DC
powered direct from the battery banks.
Computers for EchoLink,IRLP,server and two TCX-150 repeater controllers.

I've seen people use the battery
And also note that marine grade batteries wont last very long in standby
duty,a little better than a car battery but not much. Its worth the
extra money to buy gel cell type batteries designed for that type of
duty.They are also totally sealed which may be required if used in your
home or at
in
helping with the repeater. So this is all a good thing.

Pretty Expensive, my cost as a dealer is near the $200.00 mark, and that's
before shipping. At least for the good ones. Might work.

We also use the same idea here ...
we use 2 batts from the scotters .. thay are sealed lead acids . work
great !! and thay can really be drawn down if needed ( that's what
thay where made to do)
and the price is not bad .. we paid $100 each for them and verry

You should at least check the option BB on the Astron. The backup
option gives 13.8V current limited at about 3A. We just replaced
four deep cycle batteries in parallel after about seven years of service
being kept alive with the BB option.

Ibex http://www.ibexmfg.com carries two 3 mode chargers that are very
well suited for the job. If you look at their web page under the 12

The method I have prefered over the years is the Motorola Micor
repeater TPN1105A/TPN1106A Power Supples that also charge the

The radio site near here uses that power supply to run both
repeaters and charge the battery as well.
