Also what is the difference between volts and watts. Another question was that can I was a cigarette lighter power adapter from a car to change the voltage from DC to AC.

Volts 12
Capacity @ 20-hr rate 120
Capacity @ 100-hr rate 145

How does this translate into running a 1000 watt appliance and how long you can run it with this battery.
