johnny121b Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 what does everyone use as a battery backup these days? I use a 1500-watt APC unit I picked up at GoodWill for $10.00. The batteries were, of course, spent. I replaced them, running some heavy cabling outside the UPS to a pair of $25.00 lawn/garden lead-acid batteries. The combination gives me a lot of backup time, and the batteries (when I finally do have to replace them) are less expensive than the recommended, internal batteries. The combination has worked well for about 2 years now. Quote Link to comment
