Typo, pretty important, but still just a typo.
Using P vs C is a new thing some cell manufacturers are doing, I'm not sure I understand the goal or reason for the change.

Teaching is a rare skill, Thanks to those who do!
2+2 = 4+4 = 8+8 =16+16 =32. ummmm 
wait just a minute, what was the question?

P might seem more intuitive than C...
I dunno...
Not really a typo.
The guy keeps adding W and thinking and stating that means the inverter needs ro be larger.

That is foreign power. 110V divided by 13.5A is about 8.2 ohms. I have a little water heater which is exactly that resistance.
If the inverter is 125V, 125V divided by 8.2 ohms = 15.2A
125V X 15.2A is 1,900W. Kinda creeps up on ya.
Your results may vary.

I dont know, i think it is just the initial colt box draw from the elements.
Once they get hot, the demand drops.
I bet, since the thing is rated for 1000W, it only draws 13.5A for a few seconds at startup.

Most reported numbers here I take with a grain of salt. At 110V, 1000W would be 9 ohms
If that was operated at 122V, then current would be the reported 13.5A for 1600W.
Small changes in voltage create large changes in power.

But total watts used in an 8 hr run doesn't really change...
