12v wire thickness
I have a 2kw inverter and will be getting a 100a converter for my 2 100ah lifepo4 batteries. Currently I'm just using whatever ga wires came with everything (a bix of 4/6/8). I am planning on chang...

go to a welding shop and buy the length of welding cable in the gauge you want and have them put logs on it for you. Many shops can do that.
Otherwise you'll need a hybraulic crimper. And based on what I've done I'd suggest and least 2/0 wire if not 3/0. Most inverters have a low voltage shutoff and a few tenths of a volt drop can make the difference in inverter running and inverter shutting down.
And make sure you use the correct fuse to the inverter. they are big, bulky but meant to protect under the high load conditions.
Welding cable has lots of very fine wire so it is very flexible and easy to route.
