It is possible. I did it.
I got two 6 volt golf cart batteries and installed a 600 watt pure sine wave inverter, with a automatic transfer switch. All outlets are live all the time. It is super convenient. The clock on the microwave keeps time, all three TVs and the satellite dish work, asst things like dog collars are being charged as needed.etc.. And the reason that prompted this install... The automatic Sattelite dish will stow itself should I forget to do it. It needs AC power to do this. The signal that triggers it is when the brake light comes on.

Naturally, all high draw stuff won't work with 600 watts. The fridge and HWH are on gas, and the microwave/AC can't be used with out starting up a generator or two.
Should we forget, the overload on the invertor trips and needs to be reset..Easy enough, but once used to it,,, not a problem.

I don't think that you ran your A/C off the battery.

Really?

I didn't say I did. Just the opposite.

Actually, you did. Look at Doug33's post that you quoted and then the first line of your post. Later you said you can't run the AC off the inverter. That's incorrect because that's exactly what you are doing.

A/C = Air Conditioner

AC = Alternating Current

You can see why it's easily confused.
