I dunno if it is of value to you or not, but I am almost done with a new DC UPS design. HW is done, SW is nearly done, working on some time totalizers in it. It has 85-265VAC input 24VDC @ 800mA output one 12V gel cell or lead acid battery you attach Adjustment to match AH Full charge cycle control in software Modbus serial port allows access to all control parameters I designed it for the remote telemetry location application where they do not want to put an office rated UPS in the box. This one is a rail mounted device. I plan a 100W version, but that takes custom magnetics, so I gotta finish the 800mA version first. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
