Lovely friends, mah UPS battery worked 4 hours last night, after that me and mah children were rolling here and there like crazy This genius idea came to mah maal and today i got 2 long wires with Grips. Mah battery guy told me that it will take 1 Hour to charge the UPS battery from mah car :

Now my queries are :

-The Cables are 24 feet long are they ok ?

-Is it ok to jump mah car's battery to UPS's Battery while the UPS is connected to the Mains ? (the connection will be from car's battery to UPS battery, but UPS's converted DC from AC will be going to mah car when Electricty comes, is it ok ?)

I have these kind of Jump cables but mine are 24 feet long :S :

Two source and one sink. I think you will see sparks.!!

Yes i too think its not safe to do this, first of all the 24feet cable will hardly send good power to the battery, the cable needs to be as short as possible.

But if you really want to try, it would be much better to disconnect the battery from the ups and charge it and to run UPS use your car battery, it too will give you an hour if fully charged. Hmm i think i got an idea myself ...lol

I turned OFF my house mains switch.

Left the car start for 15 minutes=1 fan + 1 light=1 Hour (Battery is Old now)

Repeated that and again 15 minutes of Liana burning CNG=15 minutes + 45 minutes (after switching OFF mah car) of 100 watts.
= Rs. 15 / Hour

While keeping the car's engine running, i was able to run everything, tv / computah / 3-4 fans etc

And at the same time 1 can sleep in car's AC

Rs. 400 of CNG=about 6 Hours of Electricity at Home + Car's AC, what do i want more ? Excellent alterate for Long electricity cuts

Ali bhai forget about UPS and all that stuff. Life is short, take the most out of it, buy this monster and leave all worries behind you :d

its a 33 KVA Diesel Powered Kubota

let alone one AC, you could operate even 5 ACs at the same time with this behemoth thing..

Just imagine how good would it feel when theres no electricity in karachi but you're still enjoying your AC while shoibkhan17 is drenched in his own sweat trying to sleep on his rooftop under open sky while being bitten by mozzies at the same time:d LOL!!!

@TrueEye bro how much this monster cost u... & diesel consumption ..

TrueEye (TrueEye) 2009-06-29 17:15:00 +0600 #15

i guess it was 800k for the unit and 35k for a sturdy custom made platform. Apart from that the automation of the whole system plus installation charges were extra. I really have no idea about its consumption though, but as far as i can remember, it was 7-8 hours to a full tank on full load..
