Hi experts. I own an old UPS power back-up for my PC. I'd like to
substitute its little 12V 4A battery with a heftier battery (such as a
sealed car battery) in order to extend power availability during blackouts.
In my area, these blackouts last for about an hour or two at a time, perhaps
once a month.
I don't need quick recharging. Trickle is fine, so I'm thinking that my
little UPS charger should work.
Do you think I could simply wire the new battery in to the UPS's battery
terminal connectors? Or will my idea not work due to increased "draw" on
the UPS charger?
If it isn't obvious, my idea is to save a couple of thousand $ on the
alternative, which is to buy a large UPS.
Thanks for the advice.
