[QUOTE="giffenton, post: 1150034, member: 13763"] Depends on your use case. If you need it for a few minutes whilst you power down, ups is fine. Want to try and sustain power for 2-4 hours- absolutely not. For that you want an inverter, which is designed for long term use. Specifically heating and the charging circuitry. UPS’s are designed to keep the flashing lights going whilst the generator kicks in to take the load, not to supply the load for more than a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
