What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.
How do you like yours? How long does it take to charge?

Aside a DIY one being lighter and smaller, whats wrong with just taking pride in a DIY project? You guys sound like a bunch yuppies from Beverly Hills. I’d personally take pride in knowing I built something myself that works with a professionally built product.

People are getting too lazy/dumb these days.

Thanks for the help Mr. Seo.

A ups is massive and doesn’t use a true sine wave inverter typically. Which is required for the strobes to work properly with. The idea behind this is to be very cheap, small, and portable as I use these out in the backcountry, not in a studio or just outside of the car.

Yeah. Why not just go to a computer/office supply store and buy a UPS?

What’s the difference?

Both have:
* AC input
* charger
* battery
* AC output

Many UPS units have the capability of replacing the battery when it wears out.

So why go through all this trouble to build something yourself?
