Product Description

Tripp Lite's APS2012 DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended run UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 2000 watts of continuous 120V AC power from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. OverPower TM inverter output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for 1-60 minutes, and DoubleBoost TM inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 25/100 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and voltage fluctuations with a near instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling - see owner's manual for recommendations). Passes sine wave utility or generator power during battery charging and UPS line power operation, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Reliable large transformer design, with frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large inductive motors, compressors and other items with high current needs on startup.

Tripp Lite APS2012 Inverter / Charger 2000W 12V DC to 120V AC 25A/100A Hardwire Review

We have three of these running as UPS for extended long run. They work great. With a 100AmpH deep cycle battery, it can run three servers for 5 hours. The built-in three stage charger with battery and charge indicators show the status of the battery and inveter. Many adjustment dip switch to select different battery or switching voltage.

When AC lost, it will automatically switch to battery power in about 5 ms, so that computers have no downtime.

The only problem with them is that the float charge phase is always on. When power outage is not that frequent, it could cause battery being overcharged. I had contacted factory to see if we can turn that float charge off or off after certain hours to avoid the battery overcharge. But they told me there is no modification allowed. The result of that is the battery dying in about 18 month to two years.

Still, that is a much better solution than those regular UPS, since the battery in resular UPS can only last 15 minutes. During summer, when we have the rolling black, which lasts about two hours each time, we don't have to shutdown our computers due to power outage.
