Ok, the proper MINIMUM cable for the Prosine 2.0 is not a 2ga, but a 4/0 (Thats 0000) gauge, And bigger is better.

First, If not already done tape the red and black (or positive and negative) cables up for as much of the run as possible so they are side by side. (Source of this: Xantrex Customer Service back when it was here in the US).
Next, CLEAN terminals, You might want to do the ones on the inverter end but for sure the battery terminals and cable lugs and the fuse terminals.

By the way, How much battery do you have, and how old are they, and if flooded wet cell when was the last time you watered them?
