and you can not afford to have a loss of power.Ī Charger/Inverter will also provide a cleaner looking setup since the charger and inverter will be combined into one unit.(Uninterrupted Power Supply). This is very useful if powering a server/printer/computers/medical equipment/fridge etc. Appliances can be plugged into the inverter to draw AC power when grid power is available, and when the power is out the inverter/charger will automatically switch from AC power to battery power. For this DIY project we chose to use an inverter with a built in charger, this 'Inverter Charger' will plug into an AC outlet and keep the batteries charged.
You will need a DC to AC power inverter to convert the DC power from the 12 Volt batteries to AC power.
