Home UPS

Looking at a few UPS sites, http://icrontic.com/articles/super_ups, has set me up with enough info to put my house on batteries. still a few questions I have. can you get deep cycle gel cell batteries? I ask this as I heard lead acid batteries let off a gas that can corrode metals, rust silver, and if not well ventilated can cause a serious fire/explosion risk. If any one can give me a little more info on this it will be great.

secondly, I am looking at attatching my UPS to my distrabution board. supply from main trip to UPS and UPS to trips for lighting and plugs that supply power to the office, and tv and DSTV. kettle too, possibly microwave. maybe jacuzzi, but thats going a little far. Ok the Kettle will have to have its own battery. a car battery to be specific. Watch for part 2 for the explanation.


Any opinions, please! Im not too keen on blowing myself just yet. batteries are pretty scary things to work with
