| Need help understanding how UPS's work |

I've had a concept already about how they work, and there's info here as well: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question28.htm but I'm still a little confused about some specifics. I've got a UPS that just went 'down'. |
| Ed_McCarron:
With the price of a cheap inverter, its probably not worth playing with. Every UPS I've worked with trickle charges the batteries constantly when mains power is there. |

Even as I was typing (and organizing my thoughts) I realized that what I was thinking was probably not going to work and/or not worth the effort. I've got a little inverter that works, but since I was digging into the UPS, I thought it might be able to add to my setup... but I don't think so. Oh well. Thanks for indulging my flight of fancy :) |

I usually call them, give them some details about my package and then a few hours later this big brown truck parks out front and a guy comes to my door... |
