Hi, apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find an exact match.
I have a small network rack with a modem, router, switch, cameras, and alarm system. It draws 82W and a max of 100W. I really don't want to buy a standard UPS unless absolutely necessary to due to the short runtime and SLA batteries.
The MPP Solar PIP – 1012LV-MS claims to have a automatic transfer switch time of <10ms, which is the same as many of the dedicated UPS units (like an APC or CyberPower). Looks like lots of other all-in-one units also have a similar transfer time, like the Growatt/EG4/Victron/etc.
Is it feasible to get an all-in-one unit hooked up to an LFP battery and get the same performance? Am I ignorant about some other feature of a cheaper dedicated UPS that could damage the electronics somehow? I still see many people in other forums recommend a dedicated UPS instead of an all-in-one + battery system, so I must be missing something important about what a UPS provides.
Thank you!
