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...

Specifications need to be READ people.
VOLTAGE
TIME
Affects ampere hours based percentage of discharge
Discharge a battery to 50% capacity using Two 2 Two 2 hours permitted discharge time
IS CALLED THE TWO HOUR RATE
HELLO PEUKERT
Compare this rate to the 2 hour rate, and it's like bragging "I own a car that tops out at 700 miles per six hours. Wuuuweee! 700 miles!
Compare that scale to a Concorde battery. This is good practice for people who wish to immerse themselves in numbers. Similar to an absurd advertisement 3,000 cranking amps at 60c with 1.350 acid.
Study the numbers, then run them through the Peukert machine.
Cycle Lifespan ratings have absolutely ZERO to do with ampere hour ratings at 20 hours. Remember the Battery Council International is owned managed and financed 100% by battery manufacturers.
Like the American Petroleum Institute.
Advertised cycle life graphs apply to telecom like conditions and not to long term discharges. ROUGHLY speaking the cycle life chart at 50% discharge would equal 37% discharged at the 20 hour rate.
