Planning-

Depends on the number of amp hours of the battery. How far down does it discharge? And the percentage remaining whereupon you connect to A.C. power? Let's say you have 2 100 amp hours dual-purpose batteries. That would be fine. A single battery may discharge into the + - 50% range...a dual purpose battery would not be optimum.
