Just what do you need to know about this and what is your anticipated
volume for what power requirements ?

Can you clarify that you are wishing to run computing equipment off a RAPS
which is not currently connected to the Western Power supply grid or
not able to be connected due to remote location ?

Because if you are looking for equipment for that purpose, I have a 60KVA
UPS in storage, initially for a Pacific island satellite station, the
agent let the deal fall through and I am stuck with it. Fortunately I
did not buy new batteries for it but have the storage cabinet also. It can
use SLA or vented wet cell 12v, 32 in all and if you are judicious in
selection you can probably use reconditioned wet cells with an appropriate
monitoring regime...



Please email me off list at <erazmus at iinet.net.au> to continue discussion.

Given a large number of use groups are not exclusively for local members,
I'd wonder if it mattered whether they were in oz...
