120v LED vs CFL vs 12v Lamps Results
Following up on another thread discussing using inverter and 120v lights with LEDs or CFLs. I have been using a CFL for a reading lamp for some years, but now have an LED bulb to make a comparison. ...

Two 6v batteries, approx 235 ampHrs total
117 ampHrs usable to 50 percent
Now our use for tv pc, electric blanket and fridge is around 135 ampHrs every night, this is with the blanket turn down to 1 or 2 , aka very low
We have 675 ampHrs battery bank, five large AGM batteries 102# each
That way we only use 20 percent of the battery bank, instead of 50 percent
Granted that with out the residential fridge your use will be less
But you might want a larger battery bank
Our drip coffee maker only uses around 900 watts and takes 12 minutes or less to make a 10 cup pot of coffee
But a 2000 watts psw combo inverter charger is going to be in the $1600 range, give or take a $100
We have individual components 70 amp converter, 1200w inverter and 300w psw inverter for the blanket
Total cost less than $900 and if something dies, I only have to replace one lesser cost item
Just another way of thinking how to do it
Yes you can get an inverter for$200, but not 2000w psw combo
