List price on the BCMU360 is about $215 IIRC. I think we pay about $175
from PSUI. Plus $15 for the temp probe.
Are you asking run time? I have a couple with 40Ah of battery attached.
A few with about 90W load have ran for over four hours, but they never
went down, utility came back. A couple others with ~190-220W. Lost
utility at one of the sites the other day. It was running for about an
hour and a half before I brought a portable gen out. That site didn't go
down either. Couldn't let it, too much traffic. And of course utility
came back 15 minutes after I got the generator going.

How much are you paying for the Traco and how long does it last?
