Typically two batteries are needed for a 2,000 watt inverter like the part # 34278156 that you referenced.

How long will a 2000W inverter run?

If you max out the inverter at 2000 watts, you are pulling 2000 watts /12 volts = 166.6 DC amps per hour. If you use a 200-amp 12-volt battery, you would divide the 200-amp battery / 166.6 amps = 1.2 hours of run time. This is if you plan on fully depleting the battery, which we DON’T recommend.
