You do not want to put standard lead/acid car or deep cycle batteries in the house. Build a weather proof box for outdoors and bring the power in with heavy wires.
why do you worry at this point? there is no problem using a motocycle 12V 7Ah battery in an UPS. Just do not block the air vent and do not put the device upside down !
jdd Hydrogen and oxygen don't just make water. They make things go bang when they make water. Even with the vents open gases will still build up inside the cabinet. One small spark and things will get exciting very quick.
What the heck do you think comes inside up standard UPSs Billie? Mice on a tread wheel?
Gel Cells. Gell Cells don't gas like a standard lead/acid battery. We have about twenty UPS's in the house. When the power goes out the whole house screams. The bottom line is that inside the UPS case there isn't enough air circulation to keep any gassing from building up. Any gas that comes out of a standard lead/acid motorcycle batter will build up and displace whatever else might be in there. You will have a high concentration Hydrogen/Oxygen atmosphere in there. If you have a death wish, or wish to destroy your house, be my guest. Pile as many standard old lead acid batteries around your house as you wish. -- “Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.” - Joan Rivers _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
