Oil Lamp compared to batteries

One thing I really don't understand. Why would a 300w inverter not be sufficient when my peak load can never get above 150w?

I was considering the Morningstar 300 SureSine because if it is in the cabin it does not have a fan and would not be distracting. (http://www.amazon.com/Morningstar-SI...gstar+inverter)

Must be some misunderstanding, I do not recall saying a 300 watt Inverter would not work with a 150 watt load. It would work just fine. It needs at least a 200 AH or more FLA battery supplying power.
