[Shotimes] UPS Runtime (OT)

[David Rosicke]

A Minuteman E1500 with five battery packs would run a computer with 21" monitor for 354.6 minutes (4A running load).

Oh, and since each battery pack has its own charger, the entire UPS would be re-charged in less than 3 hours.  Take that, APC!

I used to be the Assistant Plant Engineer for HPM Corporation, we made HUGE
plastic injection molding machines. My UPS for my computer room would hold
up TWO 480Volt IBM System 370's, the two WindowsNT servers AND the
Definity/Intuity Phone/Voice mail system for long enough that the CATV8
generator would crank up and kick on.

I'd like to have THAT system at home!

mean I AM a crackhead when it comes to computers so it's only
natural............
