That issue is something that we talked about. Having never worked with a generator for a long period of time, I don't have any feel for the reliability. My question back to you would be, how much battery do you use? Thanks for the input!

Our current plan is to purchase the UPS with a minimal amount of battery, approximately 15min worth; just enough to get the generator running. Is this the better way to go? Or should we consider more battery?
just how certain are you that your generator is always going to start within 15 minutes? richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
