In summary, Tripp Lite offers two different types of PowerVerters: APS inverter/chargers and PV inverters. Tripp Lite’s PowerVerter APS inverter/chargers are designed to provide either backup power or mobile power for a variety of applications: commercial/residential, telecom, retail, and more. Tripp Lite PowerVerter PV inverters, on the other hand, are designed exclusively for mobile power applications, allowing users to operate office or household devices while in a vehicle or boat. Inverters draw power directly from a vehicle’s or boat’s main battery. Features of the APS inverter/charger include automatic voltage regulation and continuous pure sine-wave output whether operating from an AC or DC power source. Tripp Lite APS inverter/chargers include several features that ensure better equipment availability than competitors’ models. A high-amp, 3-stage charger allows users to safely recharge connected batteries at a faster rate than competitors’ models. If a power failure occurs, all APS inverter/charger models ensure continuous availability by quickly switching to battery backup support. Select APS models switch as fast as one half cycle (10 ms) - much faster than typical competitors’ models. Tripp Lite APS inverter/chargers feature high overload ratings - up to double their rated capacities. Tripp Lite PV inverters are compact, portable solutions for powering office equipment and household appliances while in a vehicle or boat. Select models draw power directly from the engine starting battery with user-supplied cables, while other models feature a plug that draws power from a 12 V cigarette lighter/accessory outlet. The inverter converts 12 V DC power into 230 V AC power to run a variety of devices.
