What an expensive trickle charger... 40W is a "maintainer", it's only good for maintaining one 100 AH battery or a pair of 100 AH when in storage. Included 55 AH battery is good for nothing. Nobody carries less than 80 AH battery, most people have 2*110 AH.
I believe Harbor Freight sells 40W solar maintainer for less than $200.
As others noted, you can't run MW on 55 AH battery. It should be at least 2*100AH, preferably 300 AH. And 2000W PSW inverter.
