AuroraFeasibility of replacing 12 volt UPS battery with a commodity priced car batteryIt’s time for me to replace the 12 volt battery in my computer system’s UPS unit. The replacement battery is pricey and relatively small. I was thinking of replacing it with an ordinary car battery. The cost would be about the same but the AH capacity would be many times more and give me much longer backup time. I just need to extend the leads outside the unit’s enclosure. My only concern is if I will overload the charging circuit. Anyone ever try this? Thursday, January 14, 2010
