Ordered the day before delivery. The product has proven its worth and works perfectly. During a 40-minute power outage, it handled the switchover without any problems.
Purchased in November 2019, this product gives me complete satisfaction with its operation, both for the regulation and the inverter function.
However, the battery life (supposed to last 3 to 5 years according to the manufacturer) is a bit short: I had to change the original battery after 2 years and 4 months (03/2022), and it has to be changed again according to the inverter's self-test (i.e. 2 years and 8 months).
However, the appliance is rarely used: 2 to 3 power cuts per year.
The reliability of the battery probably needs to be reviewed...
I bought this inverter for my studio in November 2023.
I was quite happy with it because it was quiet and efficient until a few days ago.
Then it suddenly started emitting the continuous warning beep and the F2 code was displayed. I read in the manual that this code corresponded to a short-circuited appliance connected to it. The problem was that even when nothing was plugged in it continued to beep. I followed the procedure in the manual (remove the battery/start up without/restart up with) and nothing happened.
I did a quick search on the web and it turns out that this is a common fault, that the brand has been aware of it for years but hasn't solved the problem.
And I've been lucky compared to some of the comments, some people have had a fire start... so I wouldn't recommend it.
So I took it back to LDLC Avignon where I'd bought it and the after-sales service was super efficient (and very smiley, which didn't spoil anything). They replaced it with an equivalent from Eaton which works very well. Thank you for your professionalism.
Inverter powerful enough to secure our computer server with an autonomy of about 30min thanks to its double battery. Excellent value for money! APC quality!
After two years of use, nothing to say about this inverter which does its job very well, both in regulation and as an inverter during an outage.
The battery, on the other hand, is indicated "to be replaced" by the device (announced autonomy of 1 mn!).
I find the lifespan (2 years and 3 months) short, compared to my old inverter which had the same type of battery (lead/gel) and lasted well over 5 years...
