Offgridding PC on Battery for Under $400 -- Be Your Own Power Company For Cheap -- 12.8V 100AH lithium-iron batteries

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

Trying this for 1 week, working better but not 100%. Still working better at nights than at mornings (way better), 1 second frame spike switching to lower/higher sens on mouse too.

this means that interference, if any, leaks into your PC from the walls.
Do you try connect pc to ground contact in socet when you on battery?

I charge my battery, played 6 hours and discharged, then re-charge it from outlets and then play only with battery (Router, Display and computer only connnected to battery). How do you mean by connecting ground to PC on socket? Im connected directly from the AC Power cable computer to battery.

i mean connected pc case to PEN or NEUTRAL contact in your socet.
DC not like AC, battery not make interference, but AC from wall - yes.
Your pc is not grounded, when you work from battery. To ground it you need connect any metal case to ground contact from you wall socet. (if you dont have 3nd contact pen, you can use neutral).
to test it you can buy cheap wt3121.

You say you connected router to battery.
This can cause problems as interference may be coming from the ISP cable going into your router. In addition, the grounding is not connected, which means the interference has nowhere to go and remains in the PC.
Thus, your system is not completely isolated.
Disconnect router from battery and use wifi mode on pc.

to ground the PC you need to take a coaxial cable, or just a metal wire, and connect the metal case of the PC and the 3rd grounding pin of the socket.

Ok, first im gonna try WIFI with router not connected to battery (connected to home sockets), but if home sockets cause disturbance, it gonna still happening sending WiFi this EMI?

you need direct electrical contact to provide emission. Air dont have it.
