Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try one.

I'm wondering how many batteries I can gang together using the ups you mentioned.

UPS - $45 on ebay (buy one without batteries)
SNMP card - $125 on ebay
2 batteries & 2 outdoor battery compartments: $150-$175 (more, depending on battery quality). I get mine at Bimart.
misc connectors & wire $20

I had one site up for 36 hours with Trango Tlink, small switch, and Tranzeo AP. I thnk that's best-case-scenario.

Not sure how much I need really. It's the downtime.
This one pop has a trango, a wrap a metro and a cheap switch. Usually when it looses power it could be 24 hours or more.

With your set up, how much do you pay including the 2 rv batteries and how long have you had for a power outage?

I just ordered one of the cheapo generics for my house to check out. But generic usually leaves that feeling of uncertainty that makes me uneasy.

George, are you really needing that much?  3KVA?  Or is it the higher
battery capacity you're wanting?

I buy used APC Smart-UPS SU700NET from ebay, without batteries. Then I buy a couple RV batteries and hook them up (outside the enclosure, of course).
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).

On a remote site, it'll give anywhere from 12-24 hours depending on load &
whatchya got out there...

I need to buy a few ups's for some remote pops.

I was looking at APC and the place I buy stuff from had these:

Is this worth buying, or should I go with APC at twice the price?
