Is it possible to use an un-interuptable power suppy (like those on computers) with a Synta EQ6?
Or would it be more cost effective to simply use a deep-cycle battery?
I think would will find a battery and charger system more reliable and cheaper. Those computer no break system do not last very long. I have had two of them and as they had not needed to hold a system up for a few years when the power failure did come they failed (probably just old age). The cheaper type in any case are designed to keep the system up long enough so that you can shut the system down without a crash.
