My 2000 watt Prosine invertor works fine on small loads like TV, computer, etc, but when I fire up my LG 1000 watt micro wave/convection oven the invertor kicks off after 8 seconds, my batteries are n...

Hi Tim,
Wire size (too thin) and length of run are the issues. Short would be two feet or less.
Are the batteries wired in a balanced manner? How thick are the interconnecting cables?
I can run my microwave which draws 1591 watts from 375 amp-hours of flooded batteries. Your AGM's should be able to operate the microwave.
Check the demand using a Kill-o-Watt meter if you have one.timmac wrote:
Thanks for that info, as I stated above I am thinking my 2000 watt invertor and 2 12 volt batts might be my issue, everything is fine and dandy till I start the mirco wave, I just added up what my true watts are on micro and the background watts always running and it adds up to 1950 watts.
As to the wire length its short, under 5 foot.
I cant do nothing about my length unless I move the invertor but with storage issues I cant, 4 foot is what I figure is the length and I don't think its that long, maybe up size my wires in the near future and try that, maybe add more batts but the current compartment can only hold 2 31 group batts.
I am also thinking that anything I do might just be a waste of money since its just a 2000 watt invertor, I do think with other things running and running the micro wave I am at max load and that there is my biggest problem.
Note my batts says on top 100 amp hr
