- Our flight department generates some nice 28V batteries that have a time limit in the planes but have a lot of life still in them. I was thinking of making a UPS with them. I guess it would mean a 28

- Is it really a "28V" battery? How many cells does it have? I have a feeling that they're called 28V batteries because it's used in a 28V electrical system, but the rest of the non-aviation world call

- Doohhhh! in my best Homer Simpson voice... They typically read 24-26 volts. That is good news, I am sure that your are right and there should be some off the shelf components to make this easier... M

- Most of the UPS systems I have use 24V or 48V battery systems (12V batteries in series). You could pick up some used APC SmartUPS700, 1000 or 1500 and hack in several of those "28V" batteries (wired

- Definitely lead acid for us. OEMs often use NiCad but they are pricey and come with the risk of thermal runaway at no extra charge... I hear the risk of TR isn't what it used to be when they first ca

- We have several 3, 5, and 10 KVA APC rack mount UPS' at work, and all of them have plugs for eternal battery packs. I believe they are 48 volt, but I'm not 100% sure. I would think finding used units
