If anyone has any experience with this or similar setups I'd love to hear what you think, if you would choose different options, etc. Thanks in advance!

My 12 volt 7 amp battery only lasted 6 hours. I upgraded to a 12 volt 12 amp battery. The longest it's been used so far is 10 hours with no problem. Just something else to think about.
