Equis Premium join:2005-03-18 Australia	Re: Battery Chargers Interesting points.. Can anyone give an educated guess on how long a 500va UPS would power a 12v 1.5 amp plugpack? I liked the battery idea because I though it would give prolonged uptime, but not worth it if its going to blow my gear up Thanks Again

You can use a UPS as a charger. Take the output from the battery, not from the AC out.
Cheap chargers usually overcharge batteries. Flooded cells can be refilled, but gel cells are quickly destroyed.
Off the shelf UPS usually contains microscopic batteries. External battery is needed for any serious backup use.

Also get a ups with an ethernet card so that you can remotely monitor the status.

The "VA" rating of SoHo UPS only indicate how much power UPS can supply to PC.

The runtime in minutes will be mentioned in small text - only that number will give you an indication of the battery Amp-hour rating.

I am confused by this statement. You always need more batteries for prolonged uptime. Is there another way?
