Yes, this can be done and there are several inverters on the market. The
pulse width modulator types are undoubtedly the most efficient. A lot of
them are intended for the commercial or military market, so they are not
cheap.

When using a battery, I think the trick is to have a large enough
battery so that the voltage will not drop off so fast, or  add an
additional cell if using gel cells or NimH cells.
