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...

A 200 amp shunt and meter, is going to more accurate at average RV power loads than a 500 amp shunt and meter
But what about the overload situation?
Won't I be limiting myself to 200a, instead of the inverter's max capacity?
NO.. you won't
did you even stop to think
that 2800w is a MAX start up surge on say a very large motor
how big a compressor are you going to carry around
how big a jack hammer
how big of an electric arc welder
its 1800w max continuous load aka a large MW or maybe Kureg coffee machine
thats 150 amps max continuous load going slowly up in amps as the batteries go down in voltage
you will never draw 200 amps continuous load aka 2400,
you will never hit 2800 for more than a split second (IF EVER)
you don't have have anything that is going to draw 2400w
certainly NOT 2800w
that inverter won't carry 2800w more than a few seconds even if you had 10 batteries, thats a surge rating, aka motor start
its an 1800w inverter, thats max full load
