It's annoying when the power suddenly stops, you lose work and you sometimes get a hardware failure. While the power cuts have decreased, have a UPS or Inverter is always a good idea. In this post, I will share the difference between UPS and Inverter. I believe that choosing between them should be based on your needs.
What's a UPS?
The uninterruptible power supply unit or UPS continues to power the connected device even in the event of a power failure.
What's an inverter?
Inverters are generally larger and offer a backup solution in the event of a power failure. So, the device always turns off, but you can start working by routing the converter's power supply to the mains.
Difference between inverter and inverter
1) Use cases and backup times
If you do not experience frequent power outages, you can use an UPS to protect your computer from major hardware failures. The switch to the UPS is almost instantaneous and does not shut down your computer. UPS offers a backup of only 10 to 20 minutes.
The UPS is not a backup solution to protect your equipment. It allows you to power the entire house depending on the capacity. So, if your area has a longer power outage, you can use it at least to leave some lights and a fan running.

2) interview
The inverters do not require any maintenance while the inverters need more cabling and need to fill the plies with distilled water at regular intervals. However, I noticed that some of the advanced versions of the inverters have released the consumers from the maintenance of distilled water. So, choose wisely.
3) price
Compared to inverters, inverters are cheaper. However, when I look around me, not only are there different types of inverters and inverters available, but they are also available at a competitive price. Here are some factors to consider when buying one of them. This includes backup time, capacity, charging time, power requirement, crating (charge amount in a fully charged cell) and warranties.
In conclusion, the difference between small inverters and inverters fades. However, as your needs increase, the differences become larger.
Although I have seen many not using inverters, it is still a good idea to invest in an inverter if you are not looking for an inverter.
