Do you think it's OK for a square wave inverter to feed a UPS that feeds a
PC? I would really like to do that but was told by some one at APC it's a
no
no. My feeling was he had no idea and was just covering himself.
Thanks


Di second whats already been said here - you'd be fine. I have a small
inverter that runs my notelbook, as well as a DC-DC converter for the same
purpose. I cant remember which one is more efficient, but the DC-DC one i
mainly use for flights and such because it can plug in on the plane. In the
car, the inverter wins because it doesnt cause any interference with my
stereo ;-)
