Default Uses for Old UPSes

I am the "lucky" owner of a number of older UPSes.

So what can a person build out of these?

The batteries are for the most part dead but the remainder of the
components seem to be in good condition.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yep, the power transformers in them - feed the local mains voltage BACK
into it, you will get 18v (usually centre tapped) on the other side
where the original switching transistors were, nice big thick wire -
good for a few amps. As well, lots of other windings, good for what
have you voltages.
