Isn't an inverter plugged into a car cigarette lighter or a car battery though? You'd need a battery charger running to keep the battery topped up for anything longer than an hour or two, depending on the battery. I don't remember my electronics though so I may be out to lunch but a battery back up and an inverter are two different things if I'm not mistaken.
