Not much effort...about 20 minutes (after you know what you're doing). You
take out the internal batteries and drill 2 holes in the case (missing the
electronics, of course). I put in grommets where the #10 AWG wires enter
the case. The rest is just connectors & making the connections.
You need to use 2 12v batteries because the APC uses 24v. I'll take photos
of the next one I do (a few weeks).
I'm not sure if they make smaller ones for the SNMP card??? I got the
SU700NET because it would fit nicely in a 6"-deep outdoor metal box.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Which UPS to use?
Mark,
How much effort is involved in changing it over to the RV batteries?
You need to use two of them because that is what the SU700 is setup for,
right?
It seems to do OK charging these batteries that are considerably larger
than it was designed for?
Is the SU700NET the cheapest APC that accepts the smartslot cards?
I looked on EBay and only saw one listed, it was a buy-it-now for $25.
(George, RV batteries used to be about $60 at Costco / WalMart. )
thanks!

a couple RV batteries and hook them up (outside the enclosure, of

I put in a AP9617 SNMP device and it gives me a little remote control
w/e-mail notification. Doesn't do everything I want (PDU-ability to
power
off each receptacle individually, watchdog).
