muwlgrthis is a follow up to https://muwlgr.dreamwidth.org/50292.html and https://muwlgr.dreamwidth.org/50053.html
I removed an extra battery-powered PSU from my setup (that is, SC-120-12 and TS-IPS-V02/V04 connected to it)
And I fed my network boxes (a switch and 2 copper-optical converters mentioned before) directly from my [old?] trusty LD-A300W, using one more Molex->2Molex extender, a cut-inside Molex M-F cable, and a pair of very simple but convenient clamping wire connectors instead of screwing ones.
I needed only 5V and 12V, so it seemes reasonable to take them from ATX PSU directly. By my Watt-meter indication, power consumption at the APC SmartUPS 1000 inlet had increased by 5..6 W, but it still did not reach 70 W, keeping around 68..69 W.
We are entering a new season of potential rocket attacks and blackouts caused by them, so it would be interesting to check how long the whole setup will live on its extended batteries.
Btw, I discovered that flooded lead-acid batteries do bubble on their charge at about 13.8V, which may be heard by unarmed ear. But as far as these sounds resemble bubbles in a carbonated drink or beer, it is safe. Worse is when they resemble boiling and are heard as hisses or whistles through gas-release openings of the battery.
