So I have been looking at UPS options to power the apex and essentials. I have picked up a 65AH battery which I will direct wire to the MP40s their own fused cables to use DC power. I was thinking of gutting an old UPS and hooking the larger battery in place of the old small battery. Or even a newer small UPS.
So the wattage rating on these units, is it for batter backup purpose or running on AC power.
Essentially at max everything let’s say apex power bar will have 1200W, can I use a 500VA UPS and replace the battery or do I need to get a 1500VA rated for 1000W to make sure it runs ok when not under batter back up?
I thought about just using a 1000w inverter straight from battery but then I need a super powered battery charge to make sure when it’s running off battery it can feed the power bar.
I’m open to any suggestions. I have a generator but I want to make sure I have 12-18hrs of return pump, mp40s and 1 heater to have enough buffer time for short power outages and enough time to get home and get generator going for longer outages.
Thanks
