[QUOTE="Dumb and Dumber, post: 915187, member: 13414"] I wonder now just how much power your PC might draw? Mine draws in excess of 300 watts as my 300 watt inverter cannot even boot my machine. Let's assume 400 watts? Then it means your charger must supply 33 amps just to keep your battery charged. And that is without loadshedding. You said you want to use it like this even without loadshedding. It seems it might not work then unless you only use your PC very little. Perhaps a ups system will work better? I am going to buy myself a 1000w pure sinewave Axpert inverter. They seem great for a task like this. It's a lot more expensive than a standard modified sinewave inverter but at under 4K not too expensive either. And then you do not have to buy a charger as well. It's got it's own built-in fully automatic charger. [/QUOTE]
