    • Since I have installed this, we have only lost power once, but it was a bad one.
    • However, capacity, functions and smoothing out power to my high end components worked very well through a power outage.
    • The power flicker on and off rapidly for about 30 seconds before it finally went off for about 2 minutes and then came back on for good.
    • The area I live in gets a lot of brownouts where we lose power for about 3 seconds then it comes back.

    • No power loss in my house or office where this is located, powered back on now I get a intermittent beep, display reads 118/118/16/36/341/100 now.
    • Basically the inverter supplies a clean power source all the time weather using the wall outlet or the 12V battery
    • Then it would beep a couple times then abruptly restore all power and behave normally for a few seconds, long enough for the TV and receiver to get well into their startup cycle...then it happened again, abruptly dumping all power.
    • With a light load it gives a nice long time when power is first lost.

    • We have sporadic power "ons and offs" that are frustrating

    • I've got several of these hooked up to A/V equipment in my home where the power is not super clean.
    • Also, the systems are protected in the case of a power spike which can destroy your electronics.
    • The manual states that all outlets provide clean power and that markings on two of the eight show which provide battery back-up.

    • Important because, as I said, the power goes out a lot here - sometimes during the middle of the night and I hate getting up to turn off alarms
    • So, my brand new computer would lose power, and restart at random intervals
    • Of course, it does not necessarily mean the power will be drained in 20 seconds, as the status may not be accurate.
