Can this unit charge the batteries on an APC-brand UPS? APC says generator can not have a floating ground to charge their Smart UPS.

Why wouldn't you connect the generator to the proper ground? Forget the UPS, it is a safety concern. As for charging the APC UPS - I do have a Back-UPS Pro 900 and it is happy with the power this generator is providing, however I can not guarantee that it is will work in your case as it is running at 240V and my circuit is properly grounded.

The smart ups has to have a ground to function properly due to the monitoring it does. If you are going to put your generator in the same spot, pound a grounding stake in nearby and ground your generator to it (frame to ground stake). The smart ups should work correctly then. Otherwise get a "dumb" ups like a back-ups. Whatever you do, obviously don't plug electronics directly into a generator, it can't produce a clean enough signal and can fry some things.

Not unless you have the base (which plugs into a wall outlet) on a battery backup UPS system, no.

No, there is no battery in the Tripp Lite. You may be looking for an APC - UPS Battery Backup. Good Luck in finding what you want.

Double check the dimensions if the battery is going into a tight space. You can find a data sheet for this battery at the manufacturers web site (Universal Power Group). The charging voltage has to be correct - (data sheet has range). If using for a small UPS the charge voltage should be OK if the UPS is working correctly. These have a F2 terminal which is a wider fast on connecter (.250" used in alot of small UPS units).If you remove the old batteries and there is a fuse as part of the wiring - make sure you reinstall the fuse.

Excuse me? Even in your complaint, it's listed as an External Battery Pack for 1500VA Back-UPS. The photo of it shows no outlets that would be necessary for a UPS unit. Amazon does carry the UPS. I purchased one in September 2011 & they are still selling them. The VA rating gives you the amount of power that the UPS can provide when the power goes out, but in and of ittself doesn't say how long it will provide that power. The external battery pack increases that time substantially.

It is all according to how much amps or watts is being drawn. look at device and see what is the total wattage of the deivice being supported. There is a reating table that will show how long each APC will supply power to the wattage being drawn. hopes this helps

No, not advisable. If you DID attach a larger external battery, this device's charging and inverter hardware is not designed for a longer run-time. So, you run the risk of overheating the unit during longer re-charge or discharge cycles. Also, this UPS uses a SLA (sealed lead acid) battery. If you were considering a "car" or "marine" battery, which have different charge/discharge characteristics, the battery might be ruined (or explode) if used with this UPS.

If you mean, can the UPS, if charged, be powered on and used to run electronics when unplugged, the answer is yes. And while I haven't exactly tried it myself, I believe that you can start a computer or other device from "cold" while unplugged as well. The only caveat as far as I know is that it not draw more wattage / VA than the unit can supply during start up.

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

Make sure you have it plugged into the battery side of the UPS and not just the surge side. The drive bay doesn't care what kind of UPS it's plugged into.

No, it will probably not work. This is a custom cable to connect an APC UPS to a USB port (mac or pc.) It is not a standard usb or network cable.If you are connecting to a router, you should use either a standard RJ45 network cable or a standard USB A-B cable, depending on which the net gear router will support.

It has a battery inside that will keep the memory intact if the power goes out. It doesn't have an operational battery backup, meaning employees cannot clock in and out when the power is out. We have ours hooked up to an APC UPS battery unit. Honestly, even if Icon offered a battery, it'd probably be just as much (or more) than an APC.

Consider using something like an APC uninterruptable power supply instead. This is not a good brand of inverter and it would require a constant connection to a 12 volt battery. The power supply, on the other hand, would only use batteries during a power outage.

I purchased it to connect my UPS/APC to my pc. Not sure about your situation! Sorry

I suspect whomever said this can power a laptop was confusing this with some other APC product. I own two of these magic gizmos and love them, but a.) I doubt sincerely if this would run a laptop and b.) where on earth would you get a cord with one end USB and the other laptop connector...I think I saw where APC does make a universal laptop battery, though. It'd definitely be worth the search - this product is awesome.

I don't know since my unit is only connected to a television and a music system. However, I have had no problems of any sort with my APC, and it performs beautifully.

Yes it can. Like you mentioned just have the proper air flow. Very quiet the only sound it makes is when it's switching from main power to battery. I'm very pleased with this UPS.
