We have a rather large APC Symmertra SYMSTRF-PD UPS unit + battery modules that I would be willing to donate (FREE - just come take it away). If anyone is interested in a data-center class UPS unit, please contact me via email (email only please).

The unit is similar to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/APC-SYMSTRF-PD-Symmetra-UPS-SYMINIF-SYPM-SYBATT-Loaded_W0QQitemZ350154803187QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090118?IMSfp=TL090118118006r4814

Serious inquiries only! This is a huge datacenter UPS. It is NOT something that you would hook up in your house or garage. It takes at least an 80A 3 phase input with #3 AWG wire.

The unit itself is used but in working order (was working when it was disconnected). We also have a literal truckload of SYBATT battery modules that are new and still in their shipping boxes.

Some things to keep in mind:

* This thing weighs 598 pounds WITHOUT THE BATTERIES. Whoever comes to pick it up better have a truck with a lift-gate, some sturdy furniture moving dollies, and 3-4 guys who are prepared for some heavy lifting. I will hold the door open but I don't want to deal with moving it :P There is a nice tile floor between our storage room and the elevator lobby, as well as in the lobby itself, which cannot be damaged from the moving, so you will have to bring proper equipment, or hire movers experienced in moving heavy objects out of a corporate office building. The unit does have wheels but they are small and the unit is so heavy that the wheels have developed flat spots so it does not roll very easily. It needs to be put on a dolly or furniture moving cart.

* The unit is "as-is". I'm not sure if it is still under warranty. There are a couple of missing plastic module covers missing, but they are just for looks and do not hamper its operation. I can give you PDFs of the installation and users manual, but figuring out how to install and use it is up to you.

* I have many more batteries than the unit needs. I prefer you take these away as well. You could probably "pre-charge" and store them and use them to extend run-time (the battery modules are hot-swappable.

Again, serious inquiries only please. This is a UPS/PDU that is meant to be wired to a breaker box and provide backup power for a medium sized datacenter. I do not want to give it to someone who wants to "experiment" or someone who wants to take it from me just to sell on ebay or craigslist. I'm hoping to find someone who can actually put this to good and proper use, as I hate to see good equipment wasted.
