Interesting UPS module

It's a 12volt UPS with a SLA charger in it. Requires a 15-18v input to
charge. 6A/10A load for $35

Neat board, but I'm trying to discover a purpose for it.
I was confronted with the same problem this board
was designed to solve. Then I placed my load
permanently across my battery bank and put a
battery charger on a timer. Most of the time my load
runs off the battery at C/60 or so. Nights and
mornings the charger turns on to stir up the electrolyte
a little. Works great, is cheap.
