It can but you are not going to do it off a single deep cycle battery, You will need to have some robust batteries to sustain it. But that will almost need to be the only thing on that inverter.
It might be better to spend a little more and get the Air conditioner that can operate on 12 volts or 120 with the flip of a switch.
Look at the data panel for the 15,000 BTU AC. It's current rating should be right around 12 Amps at 120VAC. Which is 1440 Watts. Startup is when there could be a problem. Especially when the compressor approaches a near lockup condition. Current draw can be double that of normal operation Even though it is within the surge rating of the inverter- the batteries have to be at their peak at all times.
