Inverter

[Shadow]

I have searched and gone through a previous thread about peoples setups but some of it is quite excessive for my use at home.

I am looking for something to keep some of my electronics on as this is becoming a pain in my ass, all I want powered is a TV, Fibre Router, and my PC if this is possible. Can anyone suggest an easy setup and price estimate of what I should buy and how long it could last for? 2 hours is fine by me for time wise. If you have any other input I'll be all ears. I'm just not looking to completely breaking the bank.

Thanks

I have this, it served me well. I since upgraded to a large setup with solar to power the whole house.

I'm in the same boat....busy getting pricing for a 3kva inverter and 2x 100ah battery. I need to power more devices than you though, so I reckon you could get away with a 1kva invertor and 2x 100ah batteries.

Which area are you in?

Would cost quite an arm and a leg for transport unfortunately. How much does that provide for (if that is the way to ask the question).

What is your power draw?
What is your budget?

If you intend to run a gaming pc for hours. I recommend a pure sine wave inverter. A modified sine wave inverter may work, but it heats up the PSU. Not good. It also reduces the PSU max outout and and and ...

as an example. I have a 10kva ups. pure sine wave. two days of consecutive power outages(6hrs each) meant that the batteries have not charged fully. Not good. Also battery life span is drastically reduce if take a battery down to lower voltage often. Many inverters can be configured with minimum battery voltage levels

note most get away with this problem with either having more batteries and a higher cutout point. (i.e no more very deep cycling) r better type of batteries.

either way more money

honestly a low noise generator is cheaper in the long run. See inverter type gennies.

+1 for this.
I have my fiber ONT, router and two access points powered by these, and they work wonders.

Get a inverter for the TV and PC and these small ones for the 12v appliances.
