Is VMAX MR 107 a good choice to power a pellet stove UPS (250 to 400 watts) during power outage?

im not sure if its the most practical but these batteries are by far the best batteries ive ever owned. i threw two of them into my boat coupled with a solar panel each , and a 55 lbs thrust trolling motor, and they last all day... quite literally but that kind of draw with the stove may call for the bigger batteries ran in parallel .. it sounds like ya need a solar pannel array and just experiment... but thats just what i would do... at least learn more before making this kind of purchase. hope it helped ya and good luck..

I don't know, I used this battery to power/charge my phone and electronics camping trips for over a week. It didn't powered my small refrigerator, which I think was 14amps,it would cut off after a 1 min.

William these units are designed for trolling motors. The amps are 30 amps while the battery is 85 amp hours Running wide open ie a pellet stove needing same amps is 3hr continuous running. Check the amps of the pellet stove to see if it will work. Ideally I would have a generator handy in winter survival conditions.

energy is extremely less than a 600 watt hps, but the power isn't there either. You would need two to replace a 600 watt hps

The Progressive company site FAQs say the EMS series products are the maximum protection. They come in 50 and 30 amp. My opinion is to get the hard wired permanent unit. Your unit is not our for weather for theft. Also easier, just to plug in and not have extra stuff. My advice applies if you are going to keep your RV long enough to justify the cost.

Not familiar with RV's but it's a simple 2 wire milli volt tstat. I hooked mine up to a pellet stove.

I am planning to use this generator to keep my electronics running in case of a major emergency. Would this work well for a couple of laptops and a PC, video camera etc? Or would I need anything else? Thanks!

Yew, it will work okay with an 8500 watt generator. It has to be shut off manually but there is no danger of overloading.

It sounds like you are building something heavy-duty. The largest one I have built used a 750 watt. I found the engineering first class and the performance solid. I would buy it again. Built like a gamer, it's still running well after two years. On a smaller machine, the tickler starting circuit failed and they sent me a new PSU, postage paid. Your UPS needs to produce a full sine wave for it, is all. That's what Thermaltake told me, anyway. Good Luck.

Should work out fine - I checked the P43 stove manual on the Harman website and it has the following electrical information: Electrical Rating115 VAC, 60 Hz, Start 4.2 Amps, Run 2.8 Amps - this 1000w inverter should cover that just fine - a surge of 483 watts and running 322 watts. Hope this helps

For this question call tech support at HotMax.I had an interesting conversation with them about using power from a regular generator and the answer was don't use that power because of frequency fluctuations that will mess up the electronics inside the unit.

I haven't run a pellet stove with mine however if your pellet stove is only drawing 175 running watts you should be fine, however you'll also want to take a look at the start-up watts which the blower motor in the stove requires as that figure will be higher than the running watts. I took a quick look at the specs for your stove, I couldn't find the start-up watts but I did find that the full-load operation (with ignitor running) is 425 watts so as long as you stay near 1,000 watts you should be okay. Good luck!

My stove is operating on house voltage of 115 - 118 volts and is operating just fine!

Any 120 VAC 60 Hz appliance. The XP2260 inverter is rated 400 watts continuous, 800 watts peak power. It has built-in overload protection, so if you do plug in something it can't handle, it will shut off and beep at you

Sorry can't help you. I researched this generator for possible use for emergency backup power for my house. I found little info on the web or no assistance from the company (which was hard to locate) on particulars for this item. As a result I didn't purchase. It didn't look like a quality piece of equipment. Good luck with your unit.

Haven't tried using both burners yet. The power sharing system makes it sound like you only have half power available when both are used. I have a GE induction cooktop using 220V that has the same limitation.

yes, how many watts is your dump load? if over 250 watts you will burn up grid tie

you should be fine, this is rated for 2000watts and your cooker is less at 1600watts. You have 400 spare Watts.

Hello Peggy, If you Plan to use a load that surges to the 3,000 watt rating then you must use a 250 amp fuse or resettable circuit breaker for the Input side. This unit works well up to 1,000 watts It does not perform well on large start up motors like a Vacuum cleaner. I use this unit for small loads that require a pure sine wave. Mike
