What's missing to make it capable of being tied to a battery instead of grid? Probably not worth the engineering effort, but it's a shame to spend another $3k to get a different one that is designed to feed a battery.

I'll research this some more, but like all inquiries that involve "off-label" use of a product, the internet mob will revolt for even considering an unconventional approach.
I missed the part where you already have one. Not sure the solution, I'm sure there is one.
