I would think that a marine deep cycle would be better suited to the task, but a generic car battery would definately be cheaper. > and keep your car battery outdoors, not indoors ... > and do not light a cigaratte near the car battery in a closed enviroment > > ka-koom Why not just put the battery in a battery box? You're going to need something to protect it from the elements or to protect your house from it in case of a leak. If it's in a battery box (preferably metal) you can have it anywhere and just vent the enclosure to the outdoors if you're that worried. That being said, I've got an APC UPS that I "borrowed" from work. They were throwing it away because it needed new batteries so I took it home and replaced the batteries. I can get almost 4 hours of uptime for 2 computers and my router off of it. I think the batteries for it were about $150. -- - Josh www.omg-stfu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
