How can i convert 110v dc from batteries to 110v Ac.
Is there an inverter for this voltage, i searched and didn't find one.
Can anyone help, any schematic diagram.

You would be much better off with a 12V or 24V source and buying an inverter.
The lower voltage is much safer to work on. You don't need to make your own inverter. Most home-made inverters are unsuitable for driving anything other than a lightbulb.

i have only cable of 110v
You need to clarify please.
Dealing with 110V DC is dangerous. Why can you not use a 12V source?
A 'cable' rated for 110V can handle lower voltages. The guage of the cable determines the current capacity, and the insulation typically determines the voltage capacity.

You did not state your current requirements at 110VAC Or the amp/ hr rating of the batteries. Are we talking car batteries? It is far simpler to use a widely available 12 automotive inverter if the current requirements are not to high. We are talking 10:1 with a 12 volt battery. It takes over 10 amps from the battery to supply 1 amp at 110 volts. If you you can find a 24 volt inverter it is half that.

you stated you are running from batteries (plural) so obviously you do have access to a lower voltage
what is this 110VDC being used for ? ... where is it located ?

12 little 9V batteries in series make 110VDC when new and have no load. They will curl up and die if they try to driver an inverter.
