When the power goes out
JW:
When the power goes out, I have a temporarily system ready to go.
Im have a auto repair shop and stock like 6 Interstate batteries. I also have two battery's that I always keep fully charged. Each battery runs like over 6 hours with a high load, but way longer with a light load.
The inverter powers a smart TV like 44 inch and a DVD and Blue Ray player.
The TV system only pulls 66watts while running, it has a display on the inverter, Its a 12volt system.
I also use paraffin lamps.
I will take some pictures and update.

OperaHouse:
Technically my non essential loads at my camp run on one one old Interstate battery that won't start a car any more. I get lights from that and can run a DVD and TV for several hours. And I can drag it down to death without any concern for its life.
JW:
My inverter has an audible alarm and shuts down when the voltage drops to 11 volts. A deep cycle battery can be used when totally draining power, probably would have to use two 6 volt in series. Im just running 12volts auto battery.
