Re: [PLUG] Li-Po power station as ups

2024-06-11 Thread Bryan Vyhmeister
I bought an Anker SOLIX F3800 with extra battery but the transfer time
is a little too long so all my equipment reboots when it switches to
battery. That's really not ideal and can be a problem for these "Power
Stations." I did buy the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel which is an
automatic transfer switch and have yet to install that which might
improve the situation but I wanted to mention the issue since it is a
common one.

Spendy buggers!

I suspect a "power station" is just a renamed UPS with $300 added to the price!

Bunch of times we discussed not lead acid UPS options.

I came across this test site looking at the topic and testing some of the power 
stations as UPS.

This looks like a real option when my lead acid batteries go south.

Hope it is useful,

Bunch of times we discussed not lead acid UPS options.

I came across this test site looking at the topic and testing some of the
power stations as UPS.

https://www.storagereview.com/review/portable-power-stations-actually-work-pretty-well-as-a-ups

This looks like a real option when my lead acid batteries go south.

Hope it is useful,
Tomas
