Startup requirements

I have a 2000W inverter so I can run a small refrigerator (1.8ft2). The refrig. was rated at about 500W, but the startup requirement is above 1000W. The 2000W gives me some margin to watch TV, or run the Microwave. But if everything is on at the same time it still will kick of the inverter when the refrig starts up. I have two 650 amp hour batteries, and run off of the inverter for 48+ hours.
