Hi, we’ve been doing this for years, two regular car batteries(w/inverter) will run small frig for about 12 hours, a computer with a 19′ monitor/tv, grandkids playing video games nonstop, about 4 hours. A laptop? forever! Running a 600 watt microwave, enough to heat food and coffee? on a road trip, all you need. don’t try to cook; not enough power in the reg. car batteries to last that long. But the heat and eat stuff works well. I hope this helps, realtime experience.. good luck!

I wanted to add we use just a 1500 w inverter, enough to run the small frig, tv and computer, and fire up the 600 watt microwave for several minutes as needed. We never had problems. The 2 car batteries are more than enough to run all this for a while, even overnight. We traveled over 2000 miles and tied the battery bank into the van’s alternator for recharge, never had a problem. We slept in Key West,? our food in the frig never melted and our fan never went off, Jimmy Buffet would be proud! lol

How much does that inverter pull by itself? I have read where? some use 40+ watts just the inverter. Also what panels do you have with that setup? Great vid btw

hey make sur you? space your batteries apart 1 inch to allow even cooling. Batteries do not like heat and operate and charge more effiently when cool.

That also significantly prolongs your battery? life as well.
