Re: (ET) 36 volt invertors on ebay

[Chris Zach <czach computer org>]

What I really need from my E20 is the ability to cut logs. Yes, I know 
there was a chain saw for the Elec-trak, but they are rare, expensive, 
and not as safe or advanced as the modern $40 Craftsman.

I have tried using a 1200VA APC UPS in a trailer, however e chainsaw 
trips the overload after 10 seconds of cutting. I have also dragged a 
3,000 watt Matrix UPS out there; the chainsaw works *very well* with 
that. So I think one needs more power than a 900 watt inverter, but less 
than 3,000.

In that light these inverters might be a good idea.
