Im not planning on running a large inverter no. I have a small 150watt inverter I may use with my laptop. But ive also seen $30 dc laptop chargers on amazon that dont require an inverter at all. The only thing i'd use the inverter for is charging my laptop. I was just thinking to myself what are my real end goals for my battery power. All I really want to do with my battery power is power an led light or two. Recharge my laptop in the evening (if needed), and be able to run the furnace when its cold. I bought a $10 aa battery programmable thermostat. Im not sure if it will even work with my single stage heater. But my hope was I could set it up to keep the temp in the lower 60s around sunset till 10pm or so and then turn off or way down for the night. Then have it kick back up around 6am for an hour so I can actually get out of bed. Rest of the night lots of warm blankets would go far, I like sleeping in the cold anyways. Anytime I wanted to work during the day, or run the microwave, or water heater I could turn on the generator for a bit.
