Gary RV Roamer said:I would think you wold have to ask the Cyberpower people that question. The UPS has only so much battery space inside and I doubt if a larger capacity battery would fit.
As an alternative, forget the UPS and install an inverter in the RV. Then make the battery bank as large as you feel you have need for.

Ned said:Yes, a UPS is just a battery and inverter in one box. But a UPS will maintain the output power better during an input power failure. Some inverters don't switch fast enough to keep the loads from seeing the momentary power loss.

Ned said:Lou, I was actually responding to George
If there were an easy way to disable the built in transfer switch on our inverter, I would run off of it all the time too.
OOOPS! that makes sense....Ned said:Lou, I was actually responding to George

Ned said:George, I'll bet it was exciting around there. But I'll bet the computers stayed running. I would also guess the fire system used Halon, not C02, and you don't want to be in the room when that goes off.
Lou, my I/C is on a breaker too, but I can't disable it without loosing the charger, and have no other means of charging the batteries. I suppose the inverter could be modified to allow for disabling the transfer switch, but that's too much like work
But can it take in modified sine wave
