Hi Kevin,
Some years ago, there was a product called a power safe. It was a
plastic enclosure that one could put the car battery of their choice in. It
came with a wall charger and the enclosure had all the proper connections to
connect radios. The best part was that it was a sealed unit so it wouldn't
leak battery acid or fumes.
I hope this helps.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Subject: What's a good battery backup for an apartment?
Hi.
I'm looking for a way to run ham gear in my apartment when the power goes
out. I figure a battery backup is the way to go. I need to run a desktop
computer on it as well. I can use an inverter to run the PC, and I'll hook
the radio directly to the backup. I was hoping that UPS units would do the
job, but the ones I got only lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. I know a
generator would be ideal, but I don't think the complex would let me put one
outside, plus the fumes wouldn't be the healthiest thing if I ran it inside
the apartment. <grin>
Thanks for any ideas.
