>Can a inverter run a ac unit? Or for that matter a motorhome? Bryan
Yes, absolutely... the only question remains, how big is your battery
support truck?
Thanks for your question, as it points out in a very clear and simple
way, how poor the state of the art in batteries is.
At a minimum of 2000 watts per hour per Air Conditioner, you will need an
18 wheeler full of batteries to get through the night. The good news is
it would be very quiet, once the deisel tractor pulling the battery pack,
shuts down.
By comparison, we are able to store the energy to run the generator all
night long in the battery compartment (about 5 gal of gas) and run 2 ACs
and the whole rest of the motorhome. It's just not quiet enough, well
most of ours are not quiet enough .
Regards,
John
