Battery bank or voltage converter?

Re. your converter, keep in mind that converters usually have a narrow good efficiency range.  If you use a 1.5kW inverter for a 200W device, it may work at 80% efficiency or less, i.e. it will draw 250W or more, i.e. draw 20A+ on your 12V battery bank.   Make sure your batteries and wiring can take it.
Good luck with your project.
