You can run with two Wet batteries if they are above 75% SOC when you do it, otherwise the loaded voltage will hit the 11v alarm. With four Wet batts you can do it all when down to 50% at start.
With AGMs you can do it with two batts to 50% from reports on here, so that's the way to go if you have a small rig with limited battery space.
If the 1500 is MSW it will want about 110a for a 1550w MW,(and run it slow but get the job done--unless it won't.) but a PSW inverter will want all 1550w,(and run it normally) and draw 150a, so that inverter could be too small depending on the size of the MW and whether the inverter is PSW or MSW.
