Use case -- I have some relatively light-duty telecom equipment (router, 5-port switch, etc) that needs to be active to make a landline phone call. Normal UPS units typically only last an hour or so, since the "overhead" drain on the battery without power far exceed the meager usage I'm doing.
So I'm considering using this as a UPS -- but some devices aren't designed for that 24/7 use, as some don't let power pass-through, causing constant wear on the battery.
I'm interested but I'm wondering how much this will improve my camping experience

If your electronics can handle that 30ms delay then this will work fine. But I have no clue what devices can or can't handle that. I'd say buy one and find out; flip your circuit breaker and see if your devices keep working. And then come back and let me know, because I'm very interested in whether or not this thing can back up my homelab! 😆

30ms delay is usually going to be fine for most things, I think you might know if it wouldn't. The comment you replied to with telecom equipment - I can say I'm 95% sure it'll be fine... Like you mentioned, if you're really going to rely on it for something you'd probably want to do a test to see.
Things that would not tolerate something like this would involve high draw and or not enough capacitor to compensate for a 30ms drop. If it's that sensitive then you're better off getting a real ups that'll have the better latency - and you can replace the batteries to be LFE *fairly* easily (this is another debate that I've found with personal experience to be fine, but you'll find plenty of people who will say that's a bad idea too)

How many cycles have you given it? Sometimes LFP power units like this need a few cycles to 'learn' the full range of the battery.
For the DC fridge if you run out of power does it have good insulation and you can buy some ice to put in?
