Didn't know I could do that. I'm pretty rubbed in with residential electric in houses since I've remodeled homes for 20 years. But this dc/battery stuff throws me off. Can I leave the inverter hooked to along with the charger or should I buy 1 or 2 disconnects?

I like the one guy who commented and made a cart for his batteries in another thread. And the more I think about it, having 2 would be better overall for lots of reasons for wear and tear and extended time. Maybe 30 minutes might not be enough but an hour would. Now I'm if a single bank charger is ok for 2 batteries in parallel or get a 2 bank charger.

Glad you commented, I didn't know that make an inverter/charger. Was curious how all that worked. I like your set up. I'm gonna start with one battery and maybe do a cart like yours if I think I need it. Thanks

I understand it wouldn't power it for long, but I never use it all day or I'd bring the bigger gas generator with me. Maybe what I was really asking was if one battery can handle the surge of a table saw (3k or 4k surge watts) or use 2 batteries to spread the load out. I'll keep in mind the cheap charge controller.

None yet, waiting for work to slow down. But I'm thinking the harbor freight Jupiter one for 170. 2000 running and 4000 surge works probably handle a table saw. I'm debating also with making a cart to move it or stationary in the back seat of the truck.
