No, we can't run the AC with the batteries, at least not how it is set up now with the wiring. We do have a lower BTU AC unit. I haven't done any calculations to see if it is even possible in terms of watts, load on the inverter, etc.
I have read that installing a larger starting capacitor on your AC unit can allow you to run in on battery, depending on the model of course. It's that initial startup that generally overwhelms the inverter.
These guys run an AC on their 400Ah batteries.
