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

I'm using a Bluetti AC200MAX 2,200 watt expandable power station to take my system off the city's power grid.  It runs off a lithium ion phosphate battery with a 4,800 watt pure sine wave inverter. My total system only takes about 450 watts so I have never heard the fan kick on - it is totally silent. The music comes from a completely black background, with a huge soundstage that sounds very natural. I know that Ric Schultz has talked about these types of setups and there is a very expensive Stromtank battery system that is marketed to audiophiles. Anyone else tried this type of setup in their audio system?

Here is a link to a review:

If you try that stuff in FL you will be put in jail.

FPL (along with big sugar--you know, otherwise known as "middle-class heroin") runs our state and has the gov in their pocket.  THUS, any attempt to disconnect from FPL will result in criminal charges.

We "love" our gov--who else has the guts to pick a fight with a cartoon mouse, I ask you?--and you will too (OR ELSE!) when he becomes the dictator of the US--uh, sorry, our next "president."

Think I am kidding?  Just check back in a couple of years...

Enjoy!

richopp,

I didn't see the story in the Palm Beach Post.  Which section is it in?

Here is another reviewer I like regarding these products. Good tests and to the point.

So can the battery option be built into an amp? Outlet power comes into the amp and is stored in batteries which are then used to drive the system. Similar to amps that play class A for the first 10 watts then A/B after that. So internal batteries are used for first say 50 watts then over that unfiltered outlet power takes over? Just wondering.
