Continuous (Inverting) - 750 watts, Overpower (up to 1 hour) - 1125 watts, Double-Boost wattage (up to 10 seconds) - 1500 watts; Continuous (Pass Through) - 960 watts (limited only by facility/vehicle circuit
board) Unlike computer grade UPS’s these units are configurable to your needs. The 750 watt version is adequate for most emergency situations. To get the longest runtime during power failure we
recommend providing battery power for the minimum of devices. Powerheads or similar small pumps do not draw much current (~20 watts for the larger ones) and can be run for many hours from 1 Marine battery. This is
normally enough to keep circulation and aeration at adequate levels for livestock to survive while power is out. Heaters draw an immense amount of current and are best left off circuit. Water itself is a tremendous
heat sink and will only lose heat gradually. In our tests 1 Marine battery kept our LPH-26 Linear Air Pump running for 25 hours. (This pump supplied air for 20 heavily stocked tanks) We can suggest the best brands
and types of batteries to use, which are available locally to you, or we can ship direct to you, the UPS style Sealed Lead Acid types. Battery Cases are available also. Even if you have a generator or are
considering one, a battery backup will provide the extra margin of safety, which will automatically switch over (unlike generators) during power outages. This provides you with protection if you are not home or
protection while you take the time to hook up your generator or refuel it.
