Using battery power to go off the City's power grid

I'm using a Bluetti AC200MAX 2,200 watt expandable power station to take my system off the city's power grid.  It runs off a lithium ion phosphate battery with a 4,800 watt pure sine wave inverter. My total system only takes about 450 watts so I have never heard the fan kick on - it is totally silent. The music comes from a completely black background, with a huge soundstage that sounds very natural. I know that Ric Schultz has talked about these types of setups and there is a very expensive Stromtank battery system that is marketed to audiophiles. Anyone else tried this type of setup in their audio system?

Here is a link to a review:

One datapoint.

Clean power matters based on use of NBS power cords which prompted even my audio hating x to ask What did you do? 

Things that made no difference either way in The. System. That. Time. Forgot. They did not make things worse. They did not make things better. They simply made no difference to the sound quality in my system.

You know what will improve the sound quality of your system? A 1/2" A80 + 468 = live. I make this bald faced subjective statement of fact having never heard your system. 

You're prolly right.
