Bob , Interesting info ; can you confirm that the 18 pcs 12V battery were
in fact 9 strings of 2 batts in series (each string having a fuse )
providing 24 V ? or were all the 18 batts in parallel ?

Actually they were all in series, making it a bit nerve-wracking to replace a
battery in the string.

216 volt battery pack??? I don't think so.

No, quite possible and makes some design sense - they would not need
a heavy output transformer in the unit boosting the voltage of a 36V
or 48V battery string after converting it to a sine wave AC, as 216V
would be right around the sine wave peak voltage of 120VAC. Just run
the battery DC through two sets of power transistors to let through a
reconstituted sine wave - one for the positive half of the output
waveform, the other negative.

And it cuts the current the transistors have to pass.

Yes, very possible !
Exide models as well at the other big boys Liebert etc.
use this configuration.

They use torrid transformers, very compact,
the entire assy about the size of a loaf of white bread !

The ups w batteries about 36" cubed. 12 KVA 3 phased.

dude
