battery back-up
Would this power a P-43 for about an hour? would this be ok to use. doesn't say if its pure sine or not.

You could try it out though and then return it if it doesn't work......I suggest looking for a good used UPS maybe missing the battery...than go to a place like http://www.upsforless.com/ for a replacement battery...my battery was around $50 compaired to hundreds from APC

This surefire is made for a pellet stove battery backup and will give up to 13 hours.

The harmans do not require a pure sine wave. All the harman dealers are trying to push their SureFire battery backups which are modified sine wave units. All they actually are are over-priced inverter-chargers. Look into some solar-power websites and off-grid inverter/chargers, they can be had for $2-300. You can expect about 8 hours of stove time off of a single deep-cycle battery and most of these units can handle the charging of 3 or 4 wired in parallel.
