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,
Allowing for inverter losses it may draw 135 amps from the battery bank. The Peukert corrected amps are about 247 amps given a 360 amp-hour battery bank.
The question is how long can the inverter sustain the surge? If it is 1/10 of a second that's pretty much useless. If it is ten minutes--that's a quite respectable amount of time.

You're right, input power is 1350.
The inverter is actually 2,000 watts/4000 peak.
