gas? is extremely expensive compared to electricity, gas degrades over time much faster than lead-acid batteries, gas cannot be stored indoors safely (lead acid batteries, if sealed, like AGM, can), generators cannot run 24×7 waiting for your equipment to fail, generators are extremely, extremely loud.

I’m calling you? out claiming you have a diesel-powered generator that produces less noise than a PC, can be used under a desk indoors and, oh, since you’re talking about eco-friendly, burns biodiesel and produces no carbon emissions. I want to see the make, model, acoustic output, etc.

what about the battery charger inside the ups small? ups have a small battery charger if you put big battery , while dischager and rechargeing time ups may dammage due to low capacity battery charger, modify the circute and put external charger with cutout relay system then system will work properly

Some UPS may have problem charging larger batteries (cannot? keep it fully charged).
Also may have problem with calibration.

Hi, Nice job. What are people complaining about. With every experiment you learn and improve. Can you adjust the UPS software to allow for greater than 10 min operation? In my opinion a UPS is really just to give? you enough time to safely shut down your pc. I think your girl friend will be ok with the batteries as long as you get the chevy transmission out of the bath tube. Just kidding. I have an old belkin UPS I need to change the batteries on too.
