Solution to keep gaming during loadshedding

[Lupus]

That’s a pretty “good” price.

I assume one of those can replace 2x 105ah DC LA batteries

Only if it's a 12v system.

Would that be a better solution in your opinion?

Or should I just get a whole new inverter setup?

I'm kinda miffed now with this going awry so if I need to spend 20k + I am willing
Just wanna do it right

I recommended the Ecoflow Delta when you first posted this because we have the exact same needs and that's what I've been using mine for. I got mine over a year ago and while there has been some degradation (I'd say about 10-15% as an absolute thumbsuck), it still will last 8hrs+ for work and 3hrs+ when just playing games.

Hopefully if you're lucky you can get one for a good deal because they're about 3k more than they were a year ago (about 25k now).

Should I buy a killawat

Yes, this was the first thing I did. My pc idles at about 70w and most of the games I play only end up drawing 220w at peak. I have a Ryzen 3600 Rx 5700 16 gigs of ram for reference.

 

[InternetSwag]

So it beeps now after drawing 200w for 1.5 hours.
It's 7 months old. Google tells me 200ah x12v = 2400
And 2400/200 = 12 hours

I am norrefok getting that

Lead acid batteries man, I had 4 120ah go within 4 to 6 months, they never dropped below 75%, though there were times that we had power fluctuations, I had 2 old Deltec Royal 100ahs that are still going after 23 months now.

Fudge, guess I learned the hard way.

So I been asking everyone for quotes.
Someone got back to me with RCT Dyness B3 48V DC 3.55KWh lithium inverter batteries
Looking at around 21k
This something I should look at?

Not for a 24v inverter.

Sell the 24V inverter, buy a 12V inverter, get a Hubble 12V lithium or similar.

So this might be a stupid question but idfk.
What's the difference between a mecer bbone 024 and a RCT MP T2000
Both have the same specs on paper but the RCT is twice the price almost. Surely there must be a reason?

Rectron makes the RCT and BBone get sold from mustek, one supplier is just being greedy or have higher cost

Does the BBONE-024S+ come with batteries? The RCT does, and no option to buy it without.

That particular Mecer unit is modified sine wave, the RCT unit is pure sine wave. The RCT have ports for solar panels, battery circuit breaker, etc. The smaller RCT has a port to add an extra battery.

Inverter Trolley - Power Solutions

The RCT Inverter with trolley is perfect for backup power for running lights, and small appliances when there are load shedding and power outages.

Ah fudge, okay seems all of them are solar once you go over a certain price point.

Maybe I should look into it

 

[InternetSwag]

My batteries were replaced under warranty.

Which batteries did they replace them with? What was the age and was it Mecer themselves?

Ah okay, try not look at them funny

 

[InternetSwag]

Yeah fudge, I'm just gonna leave everything unused until loadshedding actually happens.

Im gonna be super careful and if these dies in 1 year or whatever time frame.
I'll buy solar or lithium

 

[InternetSwag]

Ah okay, try not look at them funny

Can you mix lithium and AGM?
Like I buy a battery box and then link 2x 100ah lithium and 2x 100ah AGM
