hi,

customer needs to power a ac-ac convertor for 4hrs.
output of convertor is 110V 300w.
The customer is connecting a small drinks machine to this and no power is available. He wants to connect to a UPS/Battery for this duration IS IT ACHIEVABLE?

Don't know what plug type the drink machine needs, but a quick input of the data you provided at one of the manufacturer's website like APC's, resulted in
APC Smart-UPS XL 750VA USB & Serial 120V + (2)SUA24XLBP Battery Unit which would keep the unit up for 373 minutes while shaving one of the extra battery units would knock it down to 210 minutes.

thanks for the response, much appreciated

A more practical idea would be to buy/rent a very quiet portable generator - Honda makes some that are VERY civilized! a 500 or 600 watt unit would be small, practical, and quiet.
