2kw Inverter + 4 GC2 6v batteries = wiring???
I now have 4- 6volt GC2 215 batteries, PD9270 converter charger, and and a ProSine 1800 watt inverter (2800 watt surge) and want to start wiring. I have a quantity of 2 AWG wire on a spool, a suppl...

That neg from battery to frame needs to be changed to go to the outer end of the shunt along with all the other negs. Only thing from battery neg is one fat (or double thinner) wire(s) to the inner end of the shunt.
The shunt outer end can't hold all those negs, so you need a neg buss bar to hold a bunch of negs, then a fat wire from the neg buss to the outer end of the shunt.
The PD 70 has two sets of terminals AFAIK. You can use the second set as a buss to connect something else.
Double #2 short wire is huge. Can't see any point in going fatter single. Just have to reduce the ends anyway to fit the inverter and converter terminals. Vector 2000w (4000w surge) inverter specifies a wiring kit of twin #4 three feet long. Twin #2 is way more than that. Holy cow. The inverter is 1800, less than 2000.
My 3000w inverter also has twin terminals and they have a kit for it with double #4 three feet long.
Of course if you have a run of much more than 3 feet distance, say over 6 ft (one way) you would have to go fatter wire.
