I have two 10kva UPS available pulled from production and ready for new homes.

 

https://www.apc.com/id/en/product/SURT10000XLI/smartups-rt-10000va-230v/

 

This accespts either 230V or 400V 3 phases input (hard wired)

 

No warranty left but have been no problem for a long time. I am not sure I have the cover for the batteries.

 

RRP was well over $10k .. Looking for $800 each. 

 

Pick up only from our office in Albany due to size and weight.

Price update .. dropped to $500 each .. Battry recyclers have offered $380 ea for just the battereis but would rather it gets a new home than ends up in a scrap pile

Hey, how old are the batteries? Serial number starts with XXYYWW where YY is the year and WW is the week of manufacture.

Quick Bump on this one. Recyclers are coming Wed Dec 13th.

 

The Battery s/n say they were manufactured in week24 of 2020 .. so just over 3 years old.

 

I also found the battery covers :-)

Love to know why the recyclers are offering so much for batteries as I just dropped off a few car batteries to the recyclers this morning and got $32.20 for 4 car batteries, 1 jump starter and 6 7aH 12v UPS batteries.

 

 

 

I would be keen on this for sure if its total power input did not exceed what my house can take almost.

Apparently the Recyclers are IT assset disposal guys, I assume they will take them and resell as working after testing .. not for scrap

Seems about right. Scrap batteries go for about $0.75/kg and at a guess that lot would have been about 40-50kg...

On this note, does anyone know the best thing to do with an old Eaton 2RU UPS? Do scrap dealers take them, or is it a next tip run type scenario?
