Brian,
If you really want your Ppap to run all night, you need to:
Find a machine that is as low a power demand as possible. They are out there.
Replace your current house bank with a pair if GC2s (6V golf cart batteries) in series.
If still needed, install a smaller and more efficient inverter because the parasitic load of the 4kW inverter is going to be higher than a more reasonably sized unit.
Avoid putting lead/acid batteries in parallel. If you must, have a box of baking soda to clean up when they go off.
