    The Ridge Ryder 1500w pure sine was $118 yesterday this one was around $70.. sale prices where heaps better yesterday on clearance items

    • Though I saw the 1500w one go up in price, wasn't just imagining things.

    • +1

      This one was $59.40 after discount.

  • Would this be suitable for a DIY UPS coupled with deep cycle battery?

    • I don't see why it wouldn't, just keep the battery on a trickle charger

    • a DIY UPS coupled with deep cycle battery?

      If it's being used as a UPS, then a deep-cycle battery is overkill. Deep-cycle batteries are for applications where the battery regularly gets discharged to a low state, which is probably unlikely when using the battery for a UPS, unless your mains supply is really flakey.

      An ordinary battery will probably do just as well, for a substantially lower price. You'll have to decide if the extra expense of a deep-cycle battery is justified, given that you have to replace UPS batteries every few years anyway.

      Here's some info that may help your decision: https://upssolutions.com.au/blogs/ups-solutions-blog/how-lon…

      • Do you mean a standard lead acid automotive Battery?

        • Thinking about this again, I think it's a bad idea.

          The only way this inverter could be used as a UPS is as an "online UPS", which means it will always be supplying power. Which means you also need a charger that can supply 500+ Watts, and that charger has to be designed to expect the battery is being discharged while the charger is supplying power. Otherwise the charger could mistakenly think the battery is faulty, or do something odd like raise the battery to cell equalization voltage continuously.

          The charging circuit in an online UPS is designed for this, and there's also a changeover circuit so the battery in such a UPS is normally "resting", not supplying power.

  • Probably similar to the kings one I'm guessing. Average quality.

    • Better than the kings spec wise, and cheaper. Comes with a remote with input/output display and power switch where the kings one is an extra $20 for power switch (and alert buzzer) only. Lower standby use of <0.2a vs 1.5a for the kings, voltage cutoff is more suited for a standard car battery (11.9v warning 11.7v cutoff) for this one, but kings may be more suited to lithium ion batteries which can discharge much further without damage (kings will only cut out at 10v which is pretty well dead for a 12v car battery). This one also has 2x 240v sockets and 2x USB ports, not that either is a huge cost for an adapter or similar.
