What are you charging it with? and what kind of UPS is it? How
long does it take to recover after a power outage? It appears to
be a 24 volt system - my small one is 48 volts and the big one is
60 volts. (Powerware Prestige EXT) Both are dual conversion.

The ones I actually have in service are 24 volt based. I don't have
them tied via data connection to any of the computers though

I just leave them plugged in and that's it. If the house loses power
for more for more than a few minutes, one of the generators will kick
on anyhow; so, I shouldn't have to worry about the UPS actually running
down far enough to go offline on me.

They are all good for about half an hour, but for long-term
outages the natural gas option on my generator provides for
virtually unlimited run-time.

My APC SmartUPS 700 is supposedly good for about 45 minutes, depending
on load. It's got brand new batteries in it too. I got them for $11 a
piece at walmart of all places! Heh. It's tied into the file server for
the LAN and this particular workstation. another UPS provides filtered
power for the switch gear, etc. I know many APC models sucked ass, but,
this happens to be one that isn't bad. It's reliable. Provides clean,
filtered current for my boxes at all times. I like that.
