What is the draw of the home, how many amps does it use? 2. How big is the battery in amp hours? You can probably run the DVD and maybe some lights, not the stove for any length of time.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on two things,

If a two burner stove is in the picture, it's not just the amp./hr.s, but the high discharge rate that will be a concern. (There's a lot less capapcity available at high rates.) That 'stove` is probably about 2400W. total. How big is your inverter????<br><b>References : </b><br>Retired Electrical Consultant You need the ‘spec.s’ on the battery.

I don't think you'll be able to operate a stove for long (if at all) though a DVD player and low wattage light shouldn't be too much of a problem. If the electricity where you live is sporadic then you might think about a camp stove that runs on gas or kerosene. My buddy is trying to live off the grid and has a ton of 12 volt marine batteries and it seems to work OK.<br><b>References : </b><br> You’ll need to know the amp/hour rating of the battery and factor in the current (amp) load demand of the devices being used.
