What's the running cost of a huge ups?
- mrfusion 10y agoI don't understand. Why would it cost anything to run it? It's just a big battery. Maybe a small charge to keep it topped off?
- celticninja 10y agoIt was a genuine question, I have ever used or needed one, therefore I have little to no idea how they operate.
- mrfusion 10y agoIt's just a big battery that you can plug things into full time. When power goes out it instantly switches to battery power. It recharges when the power comes back.

The UPS should automatically sense the status of the battery and warn you when a replacement is needed. Pick a model from one of the major manufacturers and look up the replacement battery costs to get an idea of what it will cost.
