I have 3 deepcycle batts, set up for my FD base radio and 1 server using a 12V inverter and a trickle charger and just running the power through the inverter and batt all the time, that way I did not have to set up s a switching mechanism that would switch it over. It works well as long as you get a good inverter and one that is sized correctly for your power requirements.
