vinitwins Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 just found out i have 3 extra APC UPS in my godown - problem is that their batteries are dead and rolex logistics is out of commission. did a little digging - APC uses 3rd party batteries in their products - mainly exide (india) and gsb (china) - now most of these battery dealers/distributors are located in obscure locations (basically out of octroi limits). fcuk!

indyaan Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Exide ones are good ones I guess.. I am using Exide at home and in office, Amarson (UPS) and Prestolite (Inverter) .. both are pretty good.. no issues till now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 can someone pls post a pic of the converter they are using to attach the xbox to their UPS - most UPS have 5amp sockets, whereas the 360 has a 15amp wall plug - i asked the local electric store for a converter and he said you get a converter plug that connects to a 15amp wall socket and to which you can attach 5amp plugs BUT not the other way around...???

vinitwins Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 there are days when you do something and your efforts are rewarded instantly - we (jvpd) experienced a massive brownout this evening followed by a power cut for 45mins. as i said before: buy a fracking UPS today!

vinitwins Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 try asking your electrical shop for a MAK 5amp to 15amp converter plug (~50 bucks) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
