I use 12 volt direct to power mine, ALL the time. it only draws 3 amps running.
No matter which method you use (DC or AC) there is a converter I am told and conversion loss but if you invert to 120 volts at best that is 90% efficient (matters not if PSW or MSW) and then you re-convert to compressor power.
So running 12 volt direct you only have the single converson, 10% savings.
