Anyone ever considered building their own UPS? Check this out!
 

I am going to be building my own UPS since i enjoy doing that kind of thing and consider it a enjoyable break from the work world. Here are some URLS i've found on this

http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/115-p1.php <-- Good place to get the basic concept of it all

http://home.netcom.com/~larry_l/battery_ups.htm <-- To see how it is really done. I am going to be doing something like what can be found at this URL.

I'm going to drop a 3000W inverter on something like that setup running with DEEP CYCLE batteries

Sheesh...thought you meant UPS as in United Parcel Service and was wondering why you were going to build one rather than just open one.

Yea, I'm another idiot... I thought the same thing, lol

How to build a "United Parcel Service" is tomorrows lession :1orglaugh

Nice :1orglaugh

looks like fun

Considering that I can buy them starting at around $35, I don't think it's worth it to build one. Of course, if I was bored, had the tools, time, money and inkling I suppose I might.

Dollar for Dollar you'll get more UPS minutes by building your own
