Using the inverter to generate household AC voltage

Hi, Looking at inverters built I quickly realized that most of them look sketchy in an environment exposed to constant vibration as well as the pricing skyrockets above a few kW of output power. I thought of the idea of having say a prius inverter used in 50Hz 230ish Vac 3phase output mode with DC g...

They should be rated 6800ish mAh, but are mostly 6000mAh. They are HV, cells are supposed to charge up...
