Yes the battery tender (actually power tender) works great. It is 12v at 5amps so it can do about 60 watts. It keeps the battery topped off and from over charging and when the power goes out the equipment keeps running from the battery. Also when the power goes out it has circuitry that keeps it from power backwards and draining the battery. I am doing this on 5 tower sites and it works great. I get the power tenders from batterymart.com cause they are only like $80 there and the battery's from ebay are like $40 a piece and that setup will depending on load run from 6-12 hours maybe longer I don't know and the whole setup is under $150

Their offices are about 20 miles from here, all the times I've driven by there I've never thought about using that on a tower. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Fankhauser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 11:07 AM Subject: [WISPA] new site install pictures > Hey guys I just got some pictures uploaded of one of my AP sites if you > want > to check it out.
