redcap: The space that would be created after you remove the 7Ah battery inside the UPS, position a cooling fan there. Why you need a cooling fan. Because a UPS was not made to run for a long time without AC power, the transformer may get hot so you need the fan to keep it running under normal temperature |

Like i said, don't mind the wires, it was tired neatly but had to untie to show you. had to open the 650VA UPS also to show the fan inside. Meanwhile this was the working unit when i was just building the device like 3 years ago but still working till date. The main ones are at home and in the office. You would notice i used a motherboard processor cooling fan back then cos everything was built form my workshop as a 'Computer Engineer' back then. Notice my Cat5 Cables as well as the cable from UPS to battery terminals |

Just like what i do say: in any bad situation there is also good side of it, the shortage of electric current is really making us to crack our brains: good job o.p. |

I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it a d.c fan or a.c ? 2. Car batteries are starting batteries not deep cycle ? How long will car batteries last in this setup. |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by richyfunky(m): 6:32pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
CharlesPhc:op, pls I reside in lagos. If U can make a simple video of d whole process, or give me ur email or gsm. |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 6:34pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
guy1234: The fan is connected to the battery with a switch. The cooling unit is required when the AC current is out. Car batteries have been tested with this and it worked perfectly. on my initial setup, i used a 38Ah (batteries found in keke tricycle) and it worked. But deep cycle batteries are preferable |

Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by phoenixy(m): 7:28pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
Thanks for this wonderful piece op, you didn't mention how to stop the beeping sound on the UPS when using the batteries. Secondly, how is it possible for the electronics circuit in the UPS to handle so much loads e.g fridge and TVs, when it is designed to be used for low power consuming electronics? Pls kindly revert. |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 7:36pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
phoenixy: Very good observation on the beeping sound. I pulled mine off completely so i dont hear the sound of the ups beeping. I didnt mention fridge as part the appliances to connect Then i also mentioned a 1200VA ups for connecting more devices |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by phoenixy(m): 7:51pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
CharlesPhc: Great!!! Thanks a lot for this piece, waiting for the follow up thread on the webcam DIY series, I will give you a call when I get back to PH, currently out of town. |
