Afternoon folks, with the current and seemingly endless bouts of load shedding, I've revitalised my 2500w pure sine wave inverter based mini backup solution. Unfortunately (and possibly fortunately) LifePO4 battery aren't compatible with the inverter's built-in charger, so I settled for 2 x 100AH of cost effective silver calcium batteries. I figure right now LifePO4 batteries are just crazy expensive due to demand (used in most hybrid/elec vehicles), but in time they will become cheaper, and then I could consider upgrading in say 2 years.

Yes, the family are (unselfishly) requesting that I power the TV & DSTV decoder and wifi router, but from my (selfish) perspective the 2 hours of load shedding is the perfect quiet time to enjoy a bit of music. So, the question is... is it feasible and safe to power my Consonance Cyber 800 tube mono block amps off the inverter? The tech specs state that they each consume 100w, and the inverter is pure sine wave 2500w.

Am I looking for trouble, or am I being a little neurotic here?
