Inverter is only one step, and not the first one. Need, power, then inverter.
Need= what and for how long are you going to operate it.
Power= sufficient batteries to supply your need.
Inverter= sufficient size to run the "needs" listed above.
Of course there is one item still missing, replenishing the power consumed?
Bingo!!!!
If you just want to watch the news each evening a little 100-150watt inverter plugged into a cigarette lighter to run your TV is probably fine.
If you want to run the microwave, you need more wattage.
If you want to run an expensive high end sterio, you better be looking at the quality of the power real hard.
What are you trying to accomplish?
