Can I run my microwave off of battery power?

If you're interested in microwaving at all frequently from battery power, I would suggest getting a Panasonic Inverter microwave. The reason is that using lower power levels on it actually lowers the peak power consumption, rather than simply cycling full power as other microwave ovens do. With a barely sufficient battery bank that can make a substantial difference.

I think they generally work well on MSW inverter power, too, without much if any cooking power loss.

2X on the Panasonic Inverter Microwave. I ran a 600 watt microwave off 2 6V batteries in my previous trailer without problems, but got tired of adjusting cooking times.

I added the 950 watt Panasonic Inverter microwave in my new trailer (still 2 6V 220 amp hour batteries) and if the batteries are low, use reduced power settings. On full power, 5 minutes (130 amp draw) works OK with full batteries.
