How far is too far for the inverter?
My inverter is going to be about 4-5 feet from the battery bank, and maybe an additional foot or two by the time I run the wire. I am using 2 gauge wire. Is that too far? The inverter will only see...

Hi,
How many watts is the inverter?
3000 watts, 4000 watts peak.

Also how big is the battery bank and battery type for how low an SOC can it be down to before the loaded voltage hits the 11v inverter alarm set point?
Then pick how low you might be down to when you want to run the appliance. My own requirement is to be able to run the toaster for early breakfast when the batteries are down to 50% and due to be recharged later that day.
Your inverter to battery distance is easily doable with the right set-up, so the distance itself is not an issue.
Two 6 volt Trojan J185H-AC 390 AH batteries. The only reason for the large inverter is for the microwave, which will run maybe 5 minutes a day.
