Battery recommendations for 1500W inverter
Does anyone have recommendations for a 12V battery setup that can power a 1500W inverter? The background: my travel trailer is currently powered by two 6V golf cart batteries (Duracell SLIGC110 215...

That 1.35kW is the input power for the microwave - the actual cooking power is only 900W. I've measured the power being used by the microwave when supplied from shore power using a "kill-a-watt" plug, and it never draws more than 1200W. So, I think the 1500W inverter should be fine - as long as the batteries can stay above 10.5V while powering it.
Seems like this should be a fairly common setup so I'd love to hear from someone who has done this in practice. I don't really have space for 4 batteries, but I'm assuming I could draw more amps with two 12V batteries in parallel (compared to two 6V in series). Do AGMs have lower internal resistance?
Thanks!
