Installed 1500 Watt Inverter And POP
Ok got a 1500 watt Inverter , it came with 2 gauge wire and a ANL inline fuse. Appears very good quality.. Ok read all the instructions , seems simple enough. I feed the cables through the floor ...

Make sure that your converter/charger is not being powered by the inverter! That can cause a excess amperage condition, and might overload the inverter, even though it says 'low voltage' - the condition might have been high amperage!
Best thing to do is try again, make sure the + and - terminals are right, and nothing is plugged into the inverter output. Check the inverter output voltage. If it still does not work, find another brand of inverter!
Good luck!

I hooked it straight up to the batteries no converter in the equation at all.
Also did not have the shore line plugged in either.
Yes the + and - was hooked up properly , I tested + cable at the back of the inverter before I even turned it on. Had 13.1 at the connection.
So I turned it on and within 3-5 seconds a POP inside the inverter and burnt wire smelling smoke came out both ends.
I talked with a CS person and told what happened , I sent it back.
