my powerverter 1250w
will power my 1685 input watts, GE microwave
the inverter is connected to the batteries via "1 aught" aka "0 gauge" welding cable
your looking at 140+ amps at 12v into the inverter, voltage drop and amp capacity is a very large concern
you need much bigger wire, to power that MW
did you replace the existing converter, or just turn it off ?
you don't want it on, and drawing charge power in an endless useless drain
I turn it off at the breaker when the inverter is on.
