Ant, lets do some math. it will take 15 amps DC to make the 1.5 amps AC and that is taking into account that the unit actually draws a little less because you also have a loss of efficiency through the inverter. Under labratory conditions 15 amps every four hours. In 24 hours you will use 96 amps. Your batttery bank has 220 amp hours so I would say you can run just over a day before you should recharge your batteries. You do not want to dishcarge them below 50%.
