Review on Aims PICOGLF12W12V120AL Inverter Charger Transfer by John Mejia

After purchasing a Surefire 512 that was supposed to be "Designed for Pellet Stove" and failed miserably on mine which by the way was $100 more than the Aims 1250 watt and only 500 watts cost and could not handle a 135 watt load switch. I bought goals. I have 2 100Ah batteries and tested them yesterday with full batteries. It worked great and ran for 8 hours until I switched it back to AC because the batteries were down to 12.2 volts which from all my research is about 50% of the battery. It switches so fast the stove doesn't miss it, some inverters taking longer to switch from AC to DC will make the pellet stove think it's going to start again and dump a full pot of pellets and turn on the igniter instead aims . Now the real test will be if the power goes out, but I didn't buy much, it won't work. Hopefully the device will stand the test of time. It also has a ton of built-in security features. I wish there was a way to set the cut off voltage from 10.5 volts to 12 or anything over 10.5 volts because that seems low. I have to keep a volt meter connected to the batteries so I know when to switch off, which means constant monitoring at around 7 hours. Maybe more expensive models do, although this one isn't cheap. One thing I noticed is that a lot of people refer to this as a UPS or uninterruptible power supply. This is not an inverter/charger. The UPS has its own battery, this one does not.
