hi all i have an old apc ups here that the battery has gone dead on..i was just wondering..is it possible to hook up a car battery or a lawn mower battery to an apc instead of the tiny ones you buy from them? i dont care if the batter fits inside the case or not obviously..i was just wondering if that is possible and if anyone has ever done this?if so i am going to do it! that will run my comp in a power outage for hours!

it a nutshell, Yes.... a friend of mine has 4 truck batteries joined together to add extra bite to their work UPS.

I didn't know armoured personnel carriers needed continuous power!
