Wow I have similar requirement but I am bamboozeled that nobody has replied to this post at all...
Also I am looking for a recommendation to buy a better inverter for 1 KVa, As Luminous is being given a better review around net, but I want more info on this from all your experience and usage! thanks in advance!
I had a sukam inverter, 600 va, the company doesn't exist any more, it's been 12 years working fine, now all of a sudden I am getting some odd strange sounds within 2 hours of backup supply, there is no problem with the battery though, inverter usually gives 8 hours of backup.. so I am looking to buy a new inverter..
