    If the motor is AC, no battery can be used to power it.

    If it is a DC motor, use enough batteries connected in series to produce 110 to 120 volts at the motor when it is running.

    1.9 A isn't much of a problem until you consider that you need a battery rated for 4 times the power to be drawn between recharges.

    In other words, a 20 Ah battery would be good for about 5 hours at best when used to run a 1.9 A motor.

    Is it because it's AC
