Ok cool
View power worked now when I'm using it during loadshedding.
How do I work out how long my ups will charge my 2 batteries

Although I have never measured it, its charged the next day. I reckon its somewhere between 4 to 8 hours. I have a 50A charger but I keep it at 25A when charging.
Which inverter/ charger have you got?

I have a rct 2000va ups . think its got a 10 amp built in charger . not 100% sure. Should that suffice. Probably take 10 hours
