Would a chain from a 500w to a 1kva UPS work? See details?
Power supply is very unstable where I live. I have 2 batteries of 200amp each and a 500w inverter. Most of the time this is enough to keep my pc running, but every time the pc has a power spike it draws more than 500w and the inverter cuts out. The inverter also gets quite hot while my pc is running off of it.
So if I purchase a generic 1kva UPS and put in between the inverter and pc will it solve the issue? Or should I buy a bigger inverter and no UPS? My concern with the inverter only option is that inverters don't always switch over to battery fast enough to keep the pc running.

The UPS will contain its own internal battery and the circuit is designed for switching fast enough so that the pc will run from the internal battery for a few minutes when external power is lost to allow you to complete any tasks and shut the computer down. If power is restored in the meantime normal operation is restored. The UPS shouldn't care if the external power is an inverter or normal mains supply.
