I thought standard practice was to run no battery, AC adapter only mode.

- Jerrrry 5y agoThey will hit the outlet and bring the AC with them, without bumping voltage.
- DarylZero 5y agoWhat kind of equipment does one use to do this?
- Jerrrry 5y agoI'm sure a power-supply-person with more knowledge can expand, but essentially a USP brick with cabling. They will bridge the outlet, and take the outlet, AC adapter, and everything connected, without the AC adapter even reading a voltage drop.
- chipsa 5y agoIt's a specialized tool, but basically the plug get pulled out slightly (which isn't enough to disconnect power in the US), and then the tool goes over the line and neutral pins, which supplies power from what is basically an UPS. After that, the entire plug can be pulled and capped (because you've got 120V across the exposed end of a plug now). Probably wouldn't work the same in Euro countries which have other plug types.
- toomanybeersies 5y agoEven easier: just pull the wall plate out, then hook up the UPS behind it with couple of tap splices.
- snypher 5y agoI think would work only if the user wasn't at the keys. Plus if the adversary has full access to the hardware then what are they doing under my library table!
