I've got an old comptuer UPS, been planning to wire that to a car

I have a bunch of the larger UPS units 750 watt to 1.5 kw that
have external battery connections. You can get the batter plug
pigtails from most suppliers selling computer backup power
supplies. You can probably get an SLA garden tractor battery that
has lugs for a reasonable price. ^_^

A garden tractor battery is not a deep discharge battery, and would
be a bad choice for this usage.


I'm cheap. ^_^

Always enough money to buy things twice, but never enough to buy the
right thing the first time.
