Inverter amp draw from battery = typically 11x the amps of the 120 volt load

or

Inverter amp draw = typically the watts of the 120 volt load divided by 11

Pure sine wave inverters are less efficient and draw a little more (10%).

The maximum rating of the inverter doesn't affect amp draw, it's what you actually plug into it.
