Re: (ET) inverter

[Hump <hump evgrin com>]

I believe someone on this list is using an APS3636VR. 
http://www.provantage.com/tripp-lite-aps3636vr~7TRPI01C.htm

I think it might be John Briese

I plan to invest in one as soon as the required amount of disposable income
becomes available.

As for now I have a couple of computer UPS's that I have added cords to so
that I can just clip them onto the ET pack when needed. They are a 750watt
12v model and a 1200 watt 24v model, so not the best solution. But it does
allow me to continue running some critical items during brief power 
outages
