4@12v = 24v
I'm installing 4 -12v AGM batteries to power a 24v inverter. This is my first choice for wiring: and my second: Any pros or cons to either one?

Your example is not correct.
"1800w/24v=75a.
4 6v batteries in series will share the load so...
75/4 = 18.75a.
No?"
The 4 6V batteries are all in series. This is one string. The exact same current (75A) goes through each battery.
When you operate the microwave, each 6V battery outputs 75A. If you were using 12V batteries then each 12V battery outputs 37.5A.

In either system, each battery supplies the exact same power (1800W/4).pianotuna wrote:So we're pushing 150a @ 24v?
4 6 volt in series (= 24 volts), each and every cell has to put out 150 amps.
