Sometime ago I think I saw a thread where we were discussing how we<br>
can ensure there&#39;s elec even during rationing. I have heard some<br>
excellent ideas around how you can retrofit a UPS with External<br>
batteries to create an inverter with better uptimes.<br>
<br>
Have anyone done it practically? and could you please post a howto.<br>
Think this would come in very handy in the season starting tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Thx<br>
