Right, which is exactly why you might need to wire it directly into the car as opposed to plugging the UPS into an inverter. This is more efficient and then you wouldn't have to worry about that problem.

However I do believe that other people are using inverters with UPS's plugged into them, but since I don't, I don't know how they would react.

APC is a worldwide company and I know that they exist and are used in Europe. I'm not sure about Tripplite, but after dealing with APC's customer service, which might just be the best customer service in the world, I don't see a need to try anything other than APC.
