    if the cameras run at 12v then you'll get more hours by connecting them directly to the battery instead of using the UPS inverter... then your UPS will only be used to keep the battery charged

    Off topic but pls help.
    My DVR 's hard disk stops when ups change to battery mode. Why could be the problem? I tried to change the ups and the hdd. But problem not sorted. Pls help...

    Hi there! I too tried this for my cameras with a similar ups , but instead of a deep cycle battery I used a 3s 16p Li ion with a bms... So when they batteries are low the it'll automatically cut off the power to the ups(at 3.2v). But the problem I have is that at 11.7v the ups shuts down cause the ups thinks the battery voltage is low. Any ideas? I could find the voltage diver and mod that. Please help me out?

    There may be a problem with changing the big batteries with this. It is made to charge the smaller battery and if the big batteries get discharged much it may burn itself up trying to charge them. There is a big difference in the internal resistance between the two types of batteries.

      I have the 700 back-ups.. it uses only one 12 v 7ah.can i add an additional of like two other same battery but connect it in parallel.and if yes... Will they charge.. and work in a longer time

    The problem I have with UPS's as that they charge the battery to and keep at a high voltage (i.e. 14.4V) and that cooks the battery. with such large batteries that might not be a problem but the way I would do it I would remove the ac in and use it as basically an inverter and have PV panels charge the batteries.
    31w. add inefficacies and a full day and call it 100w. you could have 1 100w panel charging the batteries and no need for ac in... job done.
    Or run the cams off the batteries without inverting and converting

      +Phillip Aboody Battery voltage has not exceeded 13.2v so I think that the size of the batteries and the fact they are pretty much stuffed will make it safe & fun experiment. As for running them directly off battery, you just spoilt the next two videos I was planning for this. Already have it setup to run full time off battery & solar :) I have 4 separate DVR's running 16 cameras - but that's another video :)

      @@HannesBrandt As JUST a 350 W inverter, sure (I wouldn't max it out to 350W btw). As a charger? I wouldn't.
      Like I said, if you are going to charge the batteries, use a different power source as these are dumb devices and they may cause damage.

    Well, but it can carry upto 150w load . In case of more than 150w load the ups will be damaged.
