UPS unit s are not well suited for inverters. They tend to be inefficient and are designed for short duration loads.

A good Google search of the board should bring up many stories of woe and UPS as inverters.

There is a review on the TL 2200 here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,30518,00.asp

It's 7 years old. It was a server rack mount model and came with line conditioning, but I doubt it was made to run indefinitely on batteries. It will run for 7 minutes under full load : http://www.frontierpc.com/productDetails.aspx?productId=202032647

Just a battery replacement will set you back $250 incl shipping.
