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

Doesn't make sense to turn on Giandel after equipment, you know how Chinese based manuals are, something usually lost in translation.

I always turned on my Rockpals prior to equipment power up, never had issue with in rush current. In rush current will be important consideration with both my dac and 845SET amp (if I chose to run on battery power), dac has bank of supercapacitors, 845 nearly 1000V at plate.

sns,

Good points.  From the international phone access code of 86, Giandel comes from Hong Kong.  I guess your Rockpal is the battery, so your procedure sounds logical.

Ricevs,

Makes sense, thanks.  If the inverter is on all the time, but all the electronics plugged into it are off, then there is no current draw from the inverter.  So the batteries won't get drained.  But if the low power electronics like preamp and sources are on all the time, then the batteries will drain at a slow but significant rate.  If you want to keep the low level electronics on all the time, then it seems that the most economical procedure is to keep the inverter off when not listening, then turn it on first, and then the power amp.  Does the battery charger get warm/hot when running the majority of the time?

Correct?

Here is a short video of the Bluetti powering my system. I took a shot of the power usage.
