Greetings. Along those lines, how would a UPS (Battery power) be helpful in this situation. They are used with computers to give users several minutes of power if the line goes dead. Could it be possible to make a 50Hz 220V circuit to charge the batteries of the US made 60Hz, 115V and then use the US output... 220V, 50Hz --> battery (gel) ----> 115V, 60Hz That way, not only does one get the 115Volts but also most 60Hz-only computer equipment should work. Anyone? P.S. I'm not sure if the battery could take that much "punnishment" continously.... -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."
