Batteries....
Also, it looks like it's specified as a 3kw-continuous, 6kw-'surge' inverter.
Neither, do I see a ~220+VAC output.
I've personally noticed that MSW inverters and UPS work fine with ActivePFC SMPS (like your desktop PC's), *only when* getting 200+VAC RMS.
Ex. My network equipment wasn't happy on a 'cheapy' 120VAC UPS; but using an international 230VAC UPS, everything works great.
(I'm a special case though, since I was lucky enough to have access to a 20A dual-pole ~240VAC 60hz circuit in my office/homelab.)
Also flooded lead acid batteries (car batteries) aren't designed to be depleted like this. They recommend not getting the battery below 80 percent of the capacity (around 10.5 volts) because taking the cycle any deeper will cause irreversible damage to the plates through excessive sulfation.
So yeah, you can use your car battery in a pinch, but the inverter is the cheap part in your setup. The expensive part are, you guessed it, the batteries…
