Hello guys,
About 4 years ago, I bought the UPS in this this link: http://powerquality.eaton.com/5e1500iusb.aspx?cx=47&GUID=82D29220-29DF-484E-96D7-436CA087A266
I power my PC, screen and router from it, and when the batteries are new (I changed batteries once around the 2 years mark), it lasts about 2 hours while not gaming, and about 6 if the computer is off and only the router is sipping. It takes 2x9A 12V batteries
I want to upgrade this using the battery from this link: https://macrotronics.net/product_info.php/winner-sprint-deep-cycle-ups-battery-12v-100a-maintenance-free-p-17860
I have a few questions:
1. Theoretically, if the fan stays on and the UPS internals do not overheat, can I just extend the the time I have using the 100A battery and extending the wires to that external battery?
2. I am aware recharge time will increase dramatically; how much do think it will need to recharge, knowing that prolonging battery health means keeping it at around 80% and charging regularly? Is there a way to charge it without connecting it to the UPS, so I just plug it in when I need it?
To note: I will be buying two 9A replacement batteries tomorrow; I do not need this battery all the time, though there are times where I need to work through the 4 hour power cuts the "moteur l 7ay" is gracing us with on a daily basis. It's worth mentioning the pice of crap has had a track record of just turning the generator off for no apparent reason, or keeping it off for more than 4 hours, which means I may end up using it more than I expect.
Any help and tips on this would be appreciated.
(I also thought about solar alternatives, but its quite costly, my budget sits at around 300 USD; 25x2 for the 9A batteries, and whatever is left for a bigger high quality battery, and perhaps a charging tool)
