Step 3Extend wires on UPS
The wires that are in a UPS are typically not long enough to reach much past where the battery sits. We will need to extend them to reach our car battery.
Cut off the the wire terminals (if any) on the wires from the UPS.
Strip at least 3/8 of an inch of the wire on the UPS
Strip at least 3/8 of an inch of the wire we are extending with.
I used a metal crimp to help me get a great connection, but this is optional.
Solder the wires together. This solder joint needs to be able to handle high current. We will be drawing lots of power through here and if we have a voltage drop, the UPS won't last as long.
After making sure the joint is well soldered, place some heat shrink over it, and seal it up good.
Note: Use colors that make sense to you, and will allow you to remember the polarity
