Microwaves on inverters.
I have a unit with 1500 watt microwave and would like to be able to use it occasionally when dry camping (10 min or less at a time). I plan to use a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Also plan usin...

I just recently bought 5 x 100AH LIFePO4 batteries from a Canadian manufacturer (I researched first, and spoke with him at length, he's an electrical engineer by trade). Each battery was $750 CAD. So far so good, they are good quality and easily power my Samlex 3000w inverter. Sure, they are more expensive than FLA, but weight and voltage drop were the primary concerns for me. Not sure it would be assumed that this would be in addition to house batteries or that a separate bank is required...

Close to my setup - YES it can easily be done - Ours Works Great
1200 watt inverter microwave used many times during the day but no coffee pot Just yet
Our 2Kw sine wave inverter easily powers the microwave for as long as needed
The other half of the equation the batteries, charging & Metering / monitoring
200amp/hr LiFe battery bank that is dedicated to the inverter and heater blower motor no other house loads. A 220amp/hr lead acid battery bank for house loads. 600watts of solar and when cloudy for extended periods a 4kw generator with both a 100amp and 75amp converters
Build yourself a nice system and you will enjoy it for years to come
Any estimate on what a 200amp/hr LiFe battery bank would cost? (Remember, this is IN ADDITION to the house batteries.)
Here is a link to a 100amp/hr LiFe battery for $1,300.00. Two of them would be over $2,500.00. I assume that is ball park.

Do you REALLY want microwave/Mr. Coffee THAT badly?
