If you have the model number just go to the Eaton website and check out the specs. ( My wife sells them in NZ ) But you may find the 3000 actually runs several 12v cells in a series configuration and output is 24v to the inverter unit.
Not sure how you woould go about connecting car batteries into that configuration and the cells need to match, ie UPs uses gel cells, not lead acid. Charge rate and sensing of charge state ( very imortant) will not work.
Failure in this regard leads to fire and meltdowns, I can vouch for that !!
Re dirty power ( Peter M ). UPS CAN fix dirty power if it is a double conversion unit that is online all the time. Most smaller UPS are offline, ie they monitor hte incoming power to the load and only intervene when power fails.
We run adouble conversion UPS (3000 ) to our sound and TV system. Mainly for power protection but it also puts out a perfect sinusoidal waveform at exactly 230 vac so my 12' sub doesn't produce weird little clicks and any ac 50hz hum noises.
