A quick back-of-the-envelope sort of computation puts running an air conditioner all night (assuming it runs constantly for ten hours) at somewhere around 15+ kWh. A GC2 battery has very roughly 1 kWh usable energy storage, maybe a bit more, so running the air conditioner all night would likely require a dozen or more batteries, and a quite heavy-duty inverter...and of course some way to charge a dozen or so batteries during the day.
This sort of thing is the reason why refrigerated trucks or trailers generally have a little diesel-powered cooling unit to keep them cold.
