Listeroid Engines / Re: Feeding Used UPS for backup?

I remember the batteries liked being excersized, verses waiting in standby mode all the time.  You can also buy cabs with dead batteries and install nice deep cycle types

About the size of a good full sized fridge.  Course you can always add battery cabs, which are not too expensive

Yeah thats what I thought.  I use to sell used units, so I'm calling around to some of my old contacts to see what is out there.  Many of the older biger units are being phased out in favour of rack mounted units.

Listeroid Engines / Feeding Used UPS for backup?
« on: January 03, 2006, 03:41:57 AM »
Has anyone ever given any thought to using a Lister to feed a used computer Room UPS?  These units are heavy duty, easy to get batteries for, come in sizes of 3 to 20 KVA single phase and could power a house for hours, and they are cheap to pick up... too big for modern computer rooms but no bigger than a fridge.

I thinking of sourcing one to feed batteries to the house needs, after the Lister shuts off for the night, they put out clean sinewaves and have bipasses built in.

Boy does'nt take much to make someone mad arround here! Anyway my next project is to couple two 6/1 listers together and run them in tandem. Has anyone here tried this before? Thanks again.

No one is mad, but we have had some people log on to the site with multiple personnalities and start praising each other.  You, with only three posts started to look like you would be following that path.

Now, you are going to link two 6/1?  THat should be interresting, will they fire 180 degrees off of each other?  How will you link them?  Make sure you have a video camera avail to film it, that would be interresting to see.  Question, why not buy a 12/2?

This is a link to a fuel line that uses built in heating wires to preheat fuel lines.... all off 12 Volt battery.  This could be very useful for us up here in the Great White North.
