Good choice for an expandable UPS system

When I added two new servers to my server rack I was faced with a choice: add a new fixed power UPS to the new servers or replace mine old inadequate UPS system with something more powerful and expandable. I purchased a Tripp Lite APS750 750W 12V DC/AC Converter with 20A Line to Battery Auto Charger for use in my RV in 2010 and was very pleased with its quality and performance so I decided to use his to buy bigger brother. APS2012 2000W inverter for my server room. Together with the APS2012 2000W I bought two Optima 8052-161 D31M BlueTop Dual Purpose batteries for parallel connection. Wiring #2/0 between batteries and inverter with Go Power! FBL-300 300A Class T fuse with built-in block fuse, I now have the perfect expandable UPS system. , switches and digital telephone system for 2.5 to 3 hours during a power outage. To increase the runtime I just need to add extra batteries. At the moment this configuration suits my needs very well.
