Wow!! I thought Goodwill was just for clothing. I'll have to check it out. Not to hi-jack but are there any common prepper items people give to them? Awesome find! -Emt1581 I find Coleman stoves there for around $5-$10 every once in a while. I only really go for prep items. New jeans are just a bonus. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Only thing I've used my camp stove for is molding bullets. I have a wood stove which gives me the same ability. But having an extra couple of the camp stoves couldn't hurt. As for jeans, they have Carhartts or is that asking too much? Thanks -Emt1581 |

cannibalize them and make some real UPS's.  During the 2008 ice storm, my techs and I constructed some pretty impressive external battery cabinets for several of these: 
Hauling 60lb batteries up and down two flights of stairs to the parking lot for charging was a supreme pain in the ass, but we got it done. Fortunately, my techs were much younger than me

| Ive been shopping more and more at goodwill. I usually just buy obscure things thst I know theyll have. Papershredder, backpacks, tripod, skeet blanket, belts, books for my daughter, broken keyboard, etc. Lately ive been buying clothes. It makes me feel like a hobo, but its dirt cheap and the stuff ive bought looks bran new. |

awesome score...that looks to be between $100 and $200 worth of ups. You forget he had to replace all the batteries.  In that case, they should have been free.Things are worth what one will pay for them - "should" has got nothing to do with it. |

| Is there a reason to purchase the correct replacement batteries other than them fitting in the case? It seems you could get a deep discharge battery and run two wires to the internal battery connection area, and have a far longer backup time for much less money per stored watt. |
