Hello all,
Big fan of the channel and the forum. I have a UPS which powers a lot of critical items in my home, an APC SRT3000RMXLA which is a 120v, 3000VA, 2700w double conversion UPS.
It may, or may not have just given up the ghost. I ordered a new battery pack ~$300 and we will see if that solves the problem. But either way, I'm looking for a way to convert it to LiFePO4, or replace it entirely
If the UPS is dead, a used replacement is at least $1300 so that's the starting budget, however I will spend more if needed. The catch is that it MUST be double conversion, I have some devices that for whatever reason do not play well with line interactive UPS's, and I just want it to be double conversion, also.
Can anyone suggest hardware? If its rackmount, all the better. As this lives in a rack currently
I'm looking for a similar or larger capacity, and battery runtime needs to be at most 10 mins. I have a standby generator which takes 10 seconds to power on and switch, but in the event the power failed and the generator was inoperable, I'd need a few minsto wheel out my portable generator
Has anyone embarked on this journey before? Size is not a concern for me at all
My main reason for going down this path is that I'm just having worse and worse luck with lead acid. New Interstate car batteries only last 2-3 years in my vehicles, and I'm getting 2-3 years out of UPS batteries now too. In the past I could get 6-7, seems like quality is down
