Blue Smart IP67 and a Phoenix Inverter vs MULTIPLUS12/500/20.

I need to install some batteries that work as ups. As input, we have the AC grid and as load, we power some communication antennas. The battery pack is 12V. My question is if it is possible to use a charger Blue Smart IP67 and a Phoenix Inverter for this case which is simple or it is better to use a MULTIPLUS12/500/20.

The Phoenix does not accept AC in so cannot be used as a ups.

That being said I do have a phoenix with an ip67 charger(occasionally used when solar does not keep up) and a small mppt on it.

But for ease of setup I would use a Multiplus that way no thinking is involved in the whole charging process.

@Alexandra : Hi Alexandra, is this possible that you show me your diagram using the phoenix inverter with a charger. I'm thinking of installing a similar system. Thanks

@Prue

Please excuse the hand drawn. But this is the basic idea. The real life representation is much prettier.

25mm² battery cable. 16mm² from mppt. 6mm² solar cable.

Thank you Alexandra, looking really good. Very similar to my design. However, mine is 24V. It is really good to know that it is working fine :)

Side 1. A later edition was the 12v panel from amazon.
