US Spec APC Smart UPS

I have been given 3x UPS

1x Smart-UPS 1500

2x Smart-UPS 750

They are all brand new BUT (and its a big one) they are 120V US models with the US plug types.

Anyone know if I can

a) convert them to 240V

b) swap them with APC

c) do anything to make use of them other than ballast or doorstops

???

I can live with the plugs as I can get converters but its the thorny 120V issue I guess.

will be 120V out as well as in, although some IT devices do have switchable PSUs. Best bet would be to contact APC.

I wondering where you got those from as I did see 3 APC smart UPS kicking around here that no one was using for some reason
