Just a few ramblings in general
Be very careful about efficiency. I haven't tested this, but you can, I think. The draw of the refer unit may well be different on the inverter because of differences in sine wave purity, actual output voltage, etc. so you need to measure that under those conditions, and average over probably several days
Also, The starting load may affect the amp hours rating somewhat, especially if for some reason the thing short cycles I can imagine that inverter "droop" could cause significant higher starting loads on the inverter than on goo solid AC, especially if the batteries are down.
Last is your amp-hour rating. What conditions are those batteries rated for, I.E, the old so called "20 hour" rating? You DO realize that you cannot simply use the mathematical product of an amp hour rating and come up with the true capacity? That is, these ratings are sort of averaged at best, a guesstimate in the middle, and sometimes an outright lie by the battery supplier at worst.

Today's Featured Article - Antique Tractor Wiring Basics - by Curtis von Fange. One of the most neglected parts of old tractors is the wiring. After sitting in the elements for half a century or more much equipment wiring has deteriorated to sparsely covered strands of copper or other metal. Plastic insulation has cracked, mice have eaten through the older clothed style coverings and the exposed wires have reacted to winter moisture and salts by turning blue and powdery. Terminal ends have corroded, rusted or just plain evaporated away. Aged wires not only keep an engin
