I've been running a 2.2kva (1.8kw) hybrid inverter with a 12v 100ah lithium lifepo4 battery as a UPS for the last week & it has been running flawlessly in bypass mode for the last week.

It is located in my dining room & I have an extension cord running to the lounge & another running to the spare room/office. The load hardly gets to 300w with the Playstation on & stays below 200 if the Playstation is off (most of the time).

The battery doesn't seem half used after 4 hour load shedding. I've set the float to 13.6v/13.8v & the voltage never drops below 12.7v. Cut-off voltage is 11.2v & equalized voltage is 14.4v.

I think I can safely add the lights (all led) & rest of the house plugs (excluding the kitchen because of the appliances).

The question now is, should I add the UPS connectivity to the db board or just clean up the extension cords with some trunking pvc? Aside from the small noise from the always-on fan, I have no issue with the inverter being in the dining room.

Any pros/cons that I'm missing?

My only thought and don't know your circumstance is it always worth doing agood job and keeping it tidy, although you may be comfortable with a relaxed diy setup it can look and be safer for others if you spend a little more time.

As you sugest some conduit and wall plugs would be a good step towards a better system.
