Thank you for all the replies and suggestions. I was already thinking about a cutoff switch of sorts to shut down the inverter when not in use. I hadn't thought about a Jackery-type device but it may be a good option based on price. I really appreciate all the help with this. I knew you folks...

Hello all, newbie here. I have a detached garage that I want to be able to run a 1/2 HP garage door opener and a few LED lights. Nothing fancy. I know the opener uses a out 750 watts. I was planning on using 12v lighting. Generally speaking, the door would only be opened and closed about 3-4...

Thank you for the reply. The lights will bearly be used as during the day if at all as there are sky lights and it is plenty bright during the day. When used at night, it would be most likely just to pull a trailer in or out, 10min tops. Not sure of the wattage as I have not purchased them yet...

Correct, it's at the extreme rear of the property. However there are a few family members that due to age etc, cannot open the door by hand due to its height. Also, loading in and out at night is a little tricky in the dark barn with a 44ft race trailer.
