Default 30 amp to 20 amp converter plug

Does anyone know where I can get some of these? I have a few 30 amp APC batteries that need to be conected to 20 amp circuits.

Beware of how you do this. You can hook them up, but don't expect them to supply more than 16 amps on a 20 amp circuit in terms of load to the systems. You'll likely trip your breakers. You can get long run time this way though. It's really just a manner of swapping out the plugs. Look for 5-20 or 6-20 plugs (5 or 6 for 120 or 240 voltage respectively).

We buy a lot of cord sets from http://www.stayonline.com/; maybe they'll have what you need.
