For my pellet stove back up I have a Honda 1000EUi which provides clean power for sensitive electronics.
It will run 10 to 12 hours on a tank of gas , which is slightly less than 1 gallon and extremely quite.
It is perfect for extended power outage , but I am looking for solutions for longer term outages.
What I would like is a battery backup to work in conjunction with my generator. I know I would need a deep cycle battery , inventer , and charger , although my generator has a dc oulet for charging batteries , but I don't know if that is the kind I would need.
I would be looking for a battery system that could run the stove for close to 12 hours at a time and that could be charged at the same time the generator is powering the stove. I would like to do this so that the generator is not running all the time and to save on gas , and also to save on elecxtricty when the stove is running 24/7.
I am going to be ordering a tri fuel kit to convert the generator to run on gas, propane, and (natural gas wich I can't get.)
I know the battery question has been done to death on here but my poor old senior mind is just not getting it.
Also I have a KILL A WATT meter , should I be looking at amps, watt , or volts for choosing a battery and inverter
In my old age I have become a SHTF kind of a person and I like to have backup plans for my backup plans, and any kind of solar backup is almost out of the question.
Could a kind soul please provide some answers for me.
