Product Description
Tripp Lite''s APS2448UL DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended run UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 4800 watts of continuous 120V AC power from any 48V DC bus or battery source. Floating 48VDC ground offers compatibility with positive or negative grounded DC systems, including 48V telco applications. OverPower™ inverter output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for 1-60 minutes, and DoubleBoost™ inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 15 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and voltage fluctuations with a near instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling - see owner''s manual for recommendations). Passes sine wave utilty or generator power during battery charging and UPS line power operation, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes.

great construction power supply
By judi nelson
I've had one of these inverters for at least 4 years, and am now buying another. I use it fairly hard, for a mobile power source for construction mainly. My first one is in for repair, as the extremely dusty location it was in finely took its toll. It worked great for power tools, except for my compressor which it wouldn't run properly (it would turn over, but really slowly). It does make a bit of noise on stereo's, as it is not a "true sine" inverter, so I wouldn't get this to run delicate electronics. The tiny on off switch and dip switches would be the main drawbacks to this inverter, in my eyes. Its a good product for its price range. (currently ~$650, it cost me ~$900 4+ years ago...)

The Tripp Lite Inverter/Charger unit is perfect for our All-Electric farm tractor as it increases the usability of the tractor substantially. The inverter is used year around cutting tree limbs, splitting logs, running water pumps and powering electric tools anywhere on the farm . We even use it to power a workshop running tools up to 3HP.Thanks to Amazon for your excellent service and good price.Mini Farming: Self-Sufficiency on 1/4 Acre

By TXN
I purchased the Tripp Lite APS2448UL as a heavy duty computer battery backup. Shortly after I made all the connections, I heard a small pop and saw a puff of smoke come up from the unit but saw no change in the operation of the unit. Of course I immediately call the Tripp Lite customer service department and told them what happened. The person on the phone was intent on trying to figure out the problem. They had me do a series of tests and when everything checked out ok, he gave me a incident number and told me to call if anything else happened. About 15 days later the unit stopped working and all my batteries were drained. I called back and they promptly send me a new unit. Had me return the old one to them in the box that the new one came in. They sent a pre-paid shipping label. This time, there was no popping sound but the unit again died in a few days and my batteries were drained. After spending a long time on the phone, trying to figure out what was going wrong, we finally discovered that the 2 sets of dip switches read from right to left instead of left to right. In other words, Block A is on the right and Block B is on the left. Also the dip switches themselves read from right to left. Switch 1 is on the far right and switch 4 is on the far left. After charging my batteries up with a separate charger and re-setting my dip switches, everything is working great now. I am convinced that the first unit that I had was ok, just had the switches set backwards. I don't know about the popping and smoke. My complaint is that the instruction manual should have been clear on the reverse order of the switches. On the other hand, the response from Tripp Lite tech support was top-notch.
