How many of you are buying an inverter system or a generator?

[QUOTE="What, post: 915042, member: 21667"] Some good advice here, especially on gennies - thank you, guys. The things I do not like about generators are the cost of running them (!!!) they need annual maintenance (think car) and are noisy. Once you get past those things and don't mind paying through your nose for electricity they seem great. Are my assumptions correct? Because I cannot use a generator, think neighbours/flat, I decided to get an Axpert 1KVA pure sine inverter charger. It will only run some CFL lights, my LCD TV, PC, Router and sound. I still need to get a battery. I am trying to avoid lead acid. Seems like gell much of a muchness too? Would love to get a Lithium Ion battery, but heck, the cost! Expensive! I see there are some 40AH Lithium Ion batteries going for a "reasonable" price. I wonder how these would compare say to a 100AH lead acid in giving power during a 2.5hour shedding, for providing power during the shedding time and longevity in the long run? Hopefully, I can add a solar panel or two later on to my setup. Still needs some reading... [/QUOTE]
