iLogic Infinity UPS part 1

Not too long ago, we had the opportunity to sell a iLogic Infinity UPS. Now, we've heard of people converting their UPS to be jacked with a car or truck battery to guarantee a longer run time in the event of power failure. However, it almost always involves using a higher end UPS model and the battery may not be properly calibrated for a UPS. If not properly done, the improper calibration may cause damage to the UPS and possibly even the device to which you are connecting the UPS to.

Enter the iLogic Infinity UPS. Depending on what device you intend to jack into it, the Infinity could potentially run up to 10 hours or more.

The UPS itself is pretty light but this is because it doesn't have a battery in it. That's right, there's no battery in the UPS itself but is actually located outside and connected by cables which we will be showing how.

The Infinity comes in three models: a 750va, 1500va and 2500va model. What we have here is the 750va model.

Since our client intends to use it for a biometric time recorder, we will be connecting the 750va model to a Smart 12v 55Ah battery. There are also other higher capacity batteries for much longer run times. There's even a 12v 200Ah that's like the size of a small truck battery. Since higher capacity batteries will be more expensive and we have different power needs, be sure to ask your dealer for recommendations.

The battery comes with two screws, nuts and washers.

Unfortunately, the UPS does not come with terminal cables (a.k.a. power cables) and connectors but these should be easily available from your local hardware or electronics store. So, be sure to look for these:
