I have successfully hooked a Mini-Split (240v) up to a Tesla pack directly. You have to perform an analysis to make sure it can support DC, and there are only a few that can, as most of the indoor-unit fans use AC motors, but there are a few that use BLDC. You would not be able to do this with a 120v unit unless it's internally using a capacitor doubler (I have seen a few that do this!).
