Context:
Where I live, the power sometimes goes out and [natural gas] heating goes down with it because fans stop working. I have a 240V split-phase generator inlet with manual transfer switch, which works fine but it's loud and we have to turn it off at night. I am now looking to also have an extra battery-backed power supply I can fall back to.
I want to end up with a split-phase 240V system, which I would plug into a generator inlet and manually transfer power. I want to charge it from the wall plug.
What I would like to know:
I ordered 2x12V ampere time batteries to keep in a heated area. I now need either all-in-one or an inverter+charger. The one I originally ordered was 220V, but it turned out to be european style, not split-phase like they do in USA. I am scanning internet for other options, do not see any sane ways to run the system on 24V, everything I see is unreasonably expensive. I really don't need the system to be much powerful, just enough to sustain house during off-peak time. Typical energy used is around 500W, so I would imagine 2KW system would do nicely.
So, should I just go ahead bite the bullet and buy LV6048 and two extra batteries to end up with 48V system, or is there some options which would allow me to run backup power on 24V yet provide split phase 240V output?
