Using battery power to go off the City's power grid

First paragraph.......Do you really think I am that stupid that I did not already know all that? Do you really think that would be easy to do and something I would want to do? Most of what you "mention" is already known....you like to reiterate things over and over and make it seem like you are super knowledgeable. But now I see why you want me to do it.....because:

In the next two paragraphs......you show your huge fear of loss. Look at the words you use....."I am prudent, minefield, financial ruin, don’t count on money back, tough economy, lose all money spent". Such drama!!!! You don’t trust the universe....This is sad. I feel sorry for you. If I had the money a Gaindel 5000 would be here in a minute.

You cannot take your money with you to the other side. Your life can be over in a millisecond. You can enjoy better sound or whatever you want in this NOW.....you can enjoy your life NOW. There is only the NOW.....ALL the love and joy and happiness that has ever existed.....exists right NOW. Most people are asleep to how alive and loved they are. Please wake up and enjoy the beauty that you are, everyone is, and the possiblilies of what you can do with your stereo and every other part of your life. YOU ARE LOVED. YOU CAN let go of your fear of loss.....the Universe LOVES you. Stereo is not really that important in the scheme of things.....but if you put energy into it....why not make it bliss and fun and play.......It does not have to be a struggle to "avoid financial ruin".........lighten up.....hug yourself....hug someone today.....go make someone feel good. Buy an inverter.....have fun! I AM Listening to the words I write. Truth applies to everyone....including me. I WILL be more trusting today. For I AM LOVED....I AM DESERVING.

I love words....I just now looked at the word deserving.......DE (of or about) SERVING.   When you feel loved....you feel grateful and you naturally want to give it to everyone......you want to SERVE.

Ok, here are results of the Entech Wideband Power Analyzer I recently got to check out the noise on my house power lines v. the Bluetti AC200MAX. Its rather humorous but remarkable! I assume if I got a Puritan 156 it would take the noise reading down to zero.

Thanks for sharing on video.  Fun tool to play around with for $40. I have multiple conditioners on 2 systems and 2 solar battery (48v AGM) backup outlets with different inverters that I can use it on to compare results.  Should be fun to hear the  results.

Cool little toy.  The Puritan is so low in noise that it won't even measure on that thing......but a single measurement does not mean that much by itself.  I am going to change the outlets and inlet and wire on my friends Puritan on Wed. because people have already done this and said it "sounded better"......the different jacks and wire will not make it measure any different......most things that make for better sound cannot be measured.  You could have two inverters that measure quite similarly but sound radiclally different.

Some of you could skip over all of the hassle of setting up separate components of batteries and inverters by simply purchasing UPS' which contain both of these components all in one package. Many models include metering too. Here's the thing about UPS' - there are typically two types; standard (or line interactive), and double-conversion. A standard UPS only transfers power to batteries when a power outage is experienced. In this situation, one specification to note is transfer time. That is the time it takes for a standard UPS to switch from utility power, to battery power. Sometimes that time can be 10 milliseconds, or higher. In a typical broadcast application (I'm a former Radio Broadcast Engineer), I used UPS' in many broadcast situations to momentarily supply power to broadcast gear, until a generator kicked in (after the loss of utility power) and took over. Sometimes this 10 millisecond (ms) transfer time was not quick enough, so many pieces of electronic microprocessor based equipment would lock up. What a pain. I then began using double-conversion type UPS'. This is a type of UPS that is *always* on battery power, with no transfer time. It sounds like with all of the batteries and inverters you're setting up, you're in a way creating a double-conversion UPS. Lead-acid batteries were the norm with UPS', but now many are utilizing Lithium Ion batteries. Here's an example of a double-conversion UPS:

UPS' come in a wide range of volt-amp outputs (easily converted to watts via website volt-amps to watts calculators). Another added plus of a double-conversion UPS is since it's always on line, it protects your equipment during momentary (and longer) utility power outages. All of my home audio equipment (TV's too) has been on a double-conversion UPS for years now. A word of caution though if you go searching for a double-conversion UPS; make sure to read the fine print. Some manufacturers use different terms for double-conversion. Key words being - no transfer time.
