A lot of people will put a 2KW inverter, or larger,  on a single 12v battery, but this can be compared to a 5 second drag car, which uses 5 gallons of gas to run the 1/4 mile, but then only having a 2 gallon gas tank."  -- sternwake((https://vandwellerforum.com/showthread.php?tid=256&pid=3823#pid3823))
