Spark - Tripp Lite is easily one of the top brands of the type of rig Cecil uses for backup, and don't see any reason to change. It is Plug-n-Play, so there is no engineering or electricians involved to set it up.
I thought about doing something similar a few years ago, but battery backup is only going to keep a DC powered PLC alive to determine what the heck is really going on, then it takes action...
I'm familiar with Tripp Lite and they do build good stuff. I just don't like the idea of energy wasted in the form of heat, during the inversion process. It just strikes me as so inefficient. But, such systems are providing power in a lot of places, so I know the technology is proven. It's just a glitch in my thought process.
