If you can't adjust your inverter sensor as paz can then you might consider the UPS.

I found a cheaper one at Costco that looks like it is well made. Anything bigger would not fit in my front overhead space where the receiver is located. Anything bigger would also be overkill for this purpose. I don't think it has a replaceable battery but it is warranted for 3 years plus Costco's incredible return policy. This is what I would do if I had your problem on a regular basis.

Small range of 400 va should be more than enough and they are cheap.

Plug and play...and designed just for this.
I dont think that approach will work because my inverter outputs a modified sine wave (MSW) and that will cause most UPSs to switch to battery power and drain.

It might not work but if you got one from Costco, you could return it. Not too much lost to find out.

I know. Get the double conversion type. The ones I've seen take any input power....that's because the load never sees the input power...ever. The load is ALWAYS powered by the
inverter circuit. Input power gets converted directly to 12 or 24 volts DC to run the inverter
and float charge the batteries.
