What If Your Generator Only Ran When Your Battery Needed It?
I’ve been thinking about a way to run a regular 120V window air conditioner in a small camper overnight.
The idea is to use a battery/inverter to run the AC, with a generator that automatically starts when the battery needs more energy, charges the battery, and shuts back off. The AC continues running from the battery/inverter.
It seems like this could provide quiet overnight air conditioning without requiring a huge battery bank and without having a generator running continuously.
Has anyone experimented with this approach?
