The thing is and the OP should be aware, that a 3K watt inverter will draw 250amps at max. and will require 250MCM awg copper wire (big stuff) on the battery input end, to deliver such. That's quite a draw and trying to suck this out of two 6v batteries for more than an instant or two, would be like hooking a 500 gallon per minute pump to a 500 gallon tank.
