[Asterisk-Users] UPS rating for SOHO asterisk box

Tue May 31 14:54:54 MST 2005

Living in the Caribbean, this is a big issue for us. I would avoid the
little SOHO UPS units, they will not last very long. Always over rate your
UPS and I would not play with external batteries, it is more trouble than it
is worth. You can buy refurbushed 3U rack mount UPS on Ebay for little
money, usually telco grade and about 1500 VA.
