    Question of the day, could I safely run this A/C-Heater off of a 2500 watt Cobra Inverter with 4 of those Interstate Batteries with no risk or chance of a dead battery after 10 hours of use?

    Them batteries can supply about 25 Amps X 12 Volts = 300 Watts each for two hours. So for the four a 1200 watt heater will only run 2 hours before you risk not being able to start ! I can run a little 120 watt 12 volt heater for twenty hours - there are also larger direct wired heaters of about 350 watts that would still run for 10 hours and would heat my cab about 20 degrees above outside air ...
