Silver Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 479 Registered: Dec-07 | I do not agree sada. A UPS is related to satellite. Matter of fact, it is a good idea to have one around as it does start automatically at the slightest power glitch in a matter of milliseconds and protects your equipment(s). Very practical to save PC's and expensive TV's during thunderstorms. Look at APC for those. They use common sealed lead acid batteries available everywhere. They are also the most reputable. The Back-UPS series. http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=21 Note the older APC series (in the steel boxes) are often available as second hands units. Just need to replace the battery inside. A good reputable battery store will recycle the old battery by the way. |

All the best. Moreover its not worth getting it from North America, try online you may be able to ship it from the gulf states where the power is 220 to 240 |
