Thanks for the reply, Randall. I was browsing through the same
catalog and came again to that same page. They have inverters rated
up to 6000 watts. Those do make the "little" 750 watt unit seem
wimpy. Okay, I'll grant that you could run a TV, especially an LCD
model, for a long time on a battery; I've been known to run lights
that way in some circumstances. But 6000 watts? Even for just
startup? Surely that isn't continuous, since they would probably
list the more impressive "startup" rating in the catalog.
