I currently run a server rack in my garage that constantly consumes 900W-1100W continuously 24/7. My HP Servers are VERY SENSITIVE requiring Pure Sine-Wave, or the redundant power supplies will instantly shut down.
For over 10 years I've used APC Smart-UPS 1500. I very quickly replaced the built in batteries with:
Has anyone already done this swap?
Did you have to make any modifications to the UPS?
Can I have two identical APC 1500's connected to a single 24V 200A LiFePO4 battery?
I'm also considering Victron EasySolar-II to replace this setup. It would also give me the ability to feed solar power into the charger / inverter / controller thus allowing solar energy to supply power to the equipment and offset my grid electric costs. I haven't found very much information on how clean the Sine-Wave is on these units, and still need to do more research. For now, I already own multiple APC Smart-UPS' and would like to start there.
