12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp?

Recently I purchased the largest 12v deep cycle battery that I could find. I also purchased a small 500 watt pure sine inverter. After connecting my El34 Single Ended to the inverter, the results were incredible. I was just curious what the community thought about this idea, comparitively to power conditioners and what not.

Put about 2 hours into my listening session last night. Connected battery to charge up this morning, and was still at 97%. Its a small amp, and is only pulling about 150 watts. Would not be feasible for more powerful amplifiers.

@imhififan should I be worried during discharge(connected to inverter while powering amp)? I will be doing all charging of the battery outside in a ventilated area.

If there is a danger with fumes releasing, would a gel type battery solve this problem?

I am converting from DC to AC. My amplifier is a 115v AC amp, thus the conversion to AC must be done. Along with capacitors @dgarretson , any link you could send me on how this might be achieved would be greatly appreciated. I have no knowledge at all when it comes to electricity. Especially capacitors(had to Google what they were).

I've also got a cheap furman power conditioner. Would connecting this along with the inverter benefit any positives, or should I just go straight into the inverter?
