    Different Victron. We are talking Victron Energy (not Victron UPS).

    No, it was Victron Energy, used to make ups’s and other power products. Same logo and everything.

    I promise you mate, they have never made UPS's, I have been using their gear for nearly 30 years now and in that time they have never sold a UPS. Their inverter chargers have a UPS mode, but that would be a roll your own solution.

    Mate. I was engineering director for an IT hardware/software company running/selling Unix servers. We sold hundreds of these things. Micro 106, micro 110 and micro 120. Also sold SolaBasic for bigger installs. Had generator integration and waveform synchronisation as well, these little upss were only good for 10-15 minutes before controlled shutdown or generator start/sync. You could add external batteries but we seldom did in those days when ebusiness was in infancy. If the site had no power no one was accessing the server anyways.

    ( hope that worked otherwise cutty pasty)
