I've been thinking about running regular batteries with inverters for quite a while. I'd run a separate battery charger for them (totally isolating the power to the devices from the grid) though. No combo units.
I still might do that. I'm also thinking of getting some of those 12vdc computer power supplies and running my servers off of marine batteries. Might get one just to install it in a machine and see how long it'll run that way. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paolo Di Francesco" <[email protected]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 8:00 AM Subject: [WISPA] The best Power Supplies/UPS are... > Hi All, > > I was wondering what is the best power supply/UPS that you have in your > sites. > I am talking about something that can accept from 50AC to 300AC, and > convert it to a -48DC or something like that. > > I know that my request can sound strange, and everybody is wondering > "why don't you use APC/HP/whatever in your site?".
