The power just returned and so we have air conditioning again. The United States has struggled with power outages lately due to storms. It is not common for my house to lose power, but happens maybe two or three times a year. One report said a power pole broke. There was lightning and thunder. But God got us through it. I actually enjoyed the experience, like it was a camping trip.

Common problem with backup power systems: the battery needs to be replaced. This model by APC has a blaring buzzer with no option to turn it off. I unplugged it years ago and it sat under my desk unused. Is it possible to remove the buzzer and continue to use it as a power strip?

While our house was cut off from the electric grid because of a storm, I wanted a power strip, so I opened this up and looked inside.

How I made tea this morning with no connection to the electric grid....

It took much longer to make tea this way, using a wood stove to boil the water, but I thanked the Lord I was still able to enjoy it. I added mint from the garden during brewing, which made it especially flavorful.

If you do not have a camping wood stove, I recommend this useful method of cooking to you, for when there is no electricity.

Your idea is something I have considered, namely, connecting a bigger 12V battery and using the built-in inverter to convert 12V DC to 120V AC. But the #electronics built into this UPS might not be able to handle extended use and may overheat. I already have inverters designed for running bigger loads for an extended time, so I think it would be safer if I stuck with those. For now, I am using this old box as a power strip, extension cord, and surge protector only.

Beautiful fruit. It's a challenge here to find fruit that not only looks good, but also actually tastes fully ripe.

I tried to find the location on a map, where you bought this, and it looked like a long trip from home!

@Murga Haha, that was actually close to home! Google Maps originally showed me this location.

@Murga
But with those coordinates you supplied, I see you did not go far to get this fruit.

I am concerned about your area, with the lack of fuel, and wonder how it affects your travel.

@Murga @jurma

Так и при воскресении мертвых: сеется в тлении, восстает в нетлении;
сеется в уничижении, восстает в славе; сеется в немощи, восстает в силе;
сеется тело душевное, восстает тело духовное. Есть тело душевное, есть тело и духовное.

@Murga
That is good news! I have seen some videos that appear to show problems, like people waiting in their cars for hours to get fuel. I pray the people of Russia, if faced with any shortages, would be at peace with each other, and not fight against each other over temporary material needs, but instead help one another. I pray the same for the people here in my country.

@poleguy
"harder to repair than it is worth"

That is also my thought.

This product reminds me of printers, where the real profit for the company is not in the sale of the printer, but in the ink cartridges. For the UPS makers, there is probably a good profit when customers buy replacement batteries. "Pay up, or we will annoy you with constant beeping of the buzzer!"

My unit is now acting as a quiet power strip and surge protector.

I appreciate that news. I have been scanning your posts, looking for any mention of fuel shortages. I trust your opinions and observations.

These kind of energy disruptions are another kind of fuel.... to cause an escalation in conflicts around the world, to make the flames grow higher. The tribulations shall continue to increase until the day of the Lord.

I had a dream that involves your nation. Did you see it?

@RueNahcMohr

This unit is the APC Back-UPS 700.

Regarding the design, the makers probably considered the small power capacity of the batteries they chose, knowing that it would lose its power quickly and so the unit would shut down automatically in a short time, before the inverter generated too much heat. If we added a larger battery, the unit would stay on longer and get hotter, but this unit has no cooling fans.

Could it be a fire hazard to increase its run time on battery?

@Murga 🤔 Hmmm, thanks for that feedback. I guess it's censorship. The link opens here. But I have a direct IP address for you, getting around the domain name entirely.

I wonder if this service is dependable: It says the web page is not blocked in St. Petersburg, so why would you need a VPN? But I am glad you were able to see it.

Yes, we should not speak evil of our rulers, or of anyone else, but we should warn each other, so we are not taken by surprise. The rulers only do what God allows, as war is one of God's judgments on unrepentant man, to humble man and lead him back to God.

The cat shelter is almost done. I had some set-backs in the construction, like a 24-hour power outage. But the feral momma cat (solid black) and some of her kittens (from two different litters) are getting used to eating in it. I hope to make the door today. (It will be my first time making a door.)

I currently have 15 cats! Many of them are inside the house.

Your motive appears good. I also try to keep things from going to the landfill. The landfill is an overlooked pollution problem. Our trash ruins the environment.

There is also a satisfaction in taking something that appears broken or worthless and successfully putting it back into useful service.

There is a #spiritual truth in this perceived satisfaction. Activity is life. Inactivity is death. Nothing matures spiritually without being of service.

@poleguy
I see you are still investigating.

By the way, your cat appears to be a good companion, and as cats all over the world have determined: a simple, used cardboard box makes a suitable bed. Your cat is doing its part in preventing cardboard from going to the landfill.

(When my cats are done with boxes, I usually burn the cardboard in my wood stove, and the ash is spread out on the ground, with none of it going to the landfill.)
