Buying a spare - comparing this ($131) one to the $78 #67+ that I currently use. Approx. same watt-hour, diff.format. Any opinions?

Hi Brian this Thinkpad Battery 19 6 Cell piggy back like tray attached underneath or docked on battery you have plus this last up to 15 hrs I use it most of time on hi performance setting run min of 9hrs great device it make it a little heavier it extend the battery by 2.5 times .if you by $78 one it like original battery you have to change it with recharge one .I am very happy with it because I use it for photo editing adobe CS5 and adobe premium my hoppy photography I custom build Hi performance gaming machine for business application. I hope this answer your question about extend battery. Good Luck. Best regard Hossein Lavi

The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

Go to the flex watt site and read all the specs. There is also a video on youtube.

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

It could be the watts . The kit I bought turned out to be a 200 watt set compared to 300 watt which is more for commercial use .There is an even stronger 400 watt set. I'm still happy with what I got for the price but I wish I knew the difference in advance so that I would have had chance to look around for the 300 watt model . I have been checking the bdf model but can not find anything , The F may stand for factory reconditioned so try to do more research first.

Wow, did I call it junk? I mean, it's not the worlds greatest inverter, and if only used a few minutes at a time for small loads, it would be ok. But going bigger means you are going to run some serious equipment, and most likely expensive stuff too. Xantrex has recently come out with a line of inexpensive sinewave inverters to compete with what china is producing in their sunforce line. These are in the $289-300 price range. Personally I'd take the Xantrex first over the sunforce because it WILL deliver 1000W, while the sunforce shuts down just below 1000W and does not have any surge capacity like the xantrex does. I reviewed 3 inverters, 2 xantrex (the grey one is the one i'm thinking of), a yellow one, and one sunforce inverter (black) - all specified to be 1000W. The GREY xantrex offers the most bang for the buck and is not overrated like the sunforce is. The yellow xantrex has a nice powerdown mode called power save that minimizes the inefficiencies of having an inverter - it turns on every couple seconds, looks for any load, then goes to sleep for 2 seconds. As a result the neon lights on power strips blink because they are below the threshold to put it in run mode, but as soon as you really need power it enters run mode. Just beware that these larger inverters come at a price - idle current - the DC power wasted when no AC power is needed. Yellow (expensive) xantrex has the lowest idle with power save, but you can also just turn off the grey unit when you don't need power. The sunforce has a cute keyfob on/off controller - its range is limited but it does work. It's just not able to do 1000W and nowhere near the surge rating on the inverter. I kept that model anyways for the remote control feature. My personal experience says go with the $289 grey xantrex I reviewed. It's got clean power and just don't run it 24x7 (don't run ANY inverter 24x7 - 1.5 A x 24 = 36 AH, which is almost the daily production of the 60W panels! If you leave the inverter running you won't have any room for running devices.)

I think, it is ok. For more than 1 Minute it is better to need only 500 ~ 600 watt . Try it and use the Advantage rules of Amazon.

I'm running this on a 300w and it's runniing fine. I have a 500w but it's too big to fit in my case lol, but it runs just fine with the 300w so I'm not concerned.

I recommend you stick with same output V as the original equipment. I don't know what you are powering up, but some circuit board items might not be able to handle the added volts.

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

In terms of the wattage, I would definetely recommend going higher than the rated requirement by around 1.5x (so technically 2250W+ if available). The ratings are never an exact number (or for constant pull of power-just a peak output) and even if they were it would be running right to the edge of its potential in your case, which would not likely end well.

Rosewill makes a decent psu. With that basic setup you should do well. Especially if you have it on a surge protection, that will extend it's life possibly. I've had good psus die within a year and cheap ones last years. It is a gamble half the time, but since you won't be loading it much and if you get a surge protection then it should be just fine.

Hello Jerome,I am not sure of the wattage used,but I am guessing not that bad! I would like to know myself, anybody that knowsplease inform us, thanks in advance.

Yes sir/ma'am, supposedly thats what your paying for with a generator like this one. I rmr doing this same research before I purchased this unit. It has the better rotor that generates the electricity, (If i rmr correctly, when I say better, i mean that it has a brushless generator. That means cleaner/smoother electricity from my findings). I used my 61" LED TV, MacBook Pro, & other expensive gadgets during a 5 day power outtage. NO issues & unit performed flawlessly. To be safe, I'd do what 'Khend' recommends regarding the surge protector below.

Possibly different distributor charging more. I ordered the 78$ and it's working beautifully.

Their amps are very overrated on power ( like their subs). So id say you should go with their 6000watt amp. It's not gonna put out anything close to 6000watts though. Just letting you know lol.
