Hi Edward. The only thing that would benefit from the inverter is your laptop. But you’ll be going from DC to AC and back to AC again so a lot of wasted energy as heat (a good AC to DC can be a 20% efficiency loss so you’d still only get 80% of the DC being fed)
If you can, why not try and see if you can just get a USB Power Delivery battery? You only need 60wh by the sounds of it which is well within the range of decent laptop power delivery batteries. Some will even do +100w
Then you just run your current battery as DC only

Your mount, by the way, is likely to never ever draw 6a even when slewing which is when it draws the most amps. During tracking you’ll barely break an amp
