I don't think we are communicating here but I'll give it just one last shot.

If you want to use AC (m0st do now), and your have no renewable 
energy producing DC, then it makes more sense to me to generate AC 
from fuel than to generate DC and convert to chemicals in the battery 
and convert it back to DC and then convert by inverter to AC, no 
matter how super the efficiency of each stage may be.  I really don't 
think there is any point in batteries playing a major part in the 
process.  Better to use a small generator and produce the AC you 
need.  Charge the battery with the surplus but don't expect to get 
much back from the process if the batteries are down and out.

There we go - three times is enough.  :-))

over and out
