This subject is coming up from time to time. Yes, you can "run" A/C without generator or tons of batteries, but this is more of a stunt. You can only run it for a short time.
Window A/C = 320AH @12V if run non-stop for 8 hours, or 160 AH if cycling 50/50. This requires 400 AH bank, considering Peukert effect and other 120V loads.
And, if you want to do the same in daytime as well - increase the battery bank to 800 AH.
