This shows how an inverter can be used to run 220Volt AC equipment from a 12 Volt battery. It also shows that doing the same job (running a small 12 V lamp) through the inverter will consume more current than running it directly from the battery. Link to a spreadsheet about how long a battery can drive a machine through an inverter: docs.google.com Do NOT think that an inverter will increase the _available_energy_ from a battery, for example in a solar system. One situation where raising the voltage CAN save energy is if you need to send it through somewhat long wires. In that case a low voltage (Which means higher current for same power) will have higher losses in the wires.
