If the current draw is doubled even less power will be extracted, so I don't think it could run a 1kW BH for an hour, but it should be able to run a 400-500W BH for an hour.
Ah, that might be valid then. I looked at 12-volt units instead (don't know if that makes a difference -- the idea would be to include it in the summer months as part of the car's 12-volt system, to power accessories, assist in the regular batt in EOC re-starts, etc.)

Also, would there be some loss in the the DC-to-AC conversion?
