?? 6 or 12 VOLT BATTERY ??
Should I go with 6 volt or 12 volt batteries? Either way I will be converting battery power to AC power via an inverter. Which voltage is better?

Planning on power A few 100 watt cfl bulbs so only 23 watts each total 115 watts, maybe a fan 200 watts I am guessing, led tv 50'watt DVD player 50 watt shuffle pressure pump 103 watts, radio50 watts,
total 500 watts or so.
Maybe a coffee maker, toaster, or microwave -all about 1000 watts each but not all on at once.

Some of the electronic controls may not even work properly on MSW. Batteries are slow to charge so 10 minutes of use can be 30 to 60 minutes of charging.
Going with the Energizer 1500C/3000S watt inverter (I like this one because it has the modified sine wave and a digital read out on the top of the unit so I can mount it to the wall and be able to read it).
For charging small items like a phone or laptop I recommend 150 to 300 watt sine wave inverter.
