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...

The bigger and shorter the cables, the better the inverter will work.
One good way to get enough current to the inverter is to double up on the cables. Use cable big enough to run the thing by itself, then double up and use two + and two - cables instead of one each. This is a case where the old hot rodder's axiom "too much is not enough and when in doubt, double it" is absolutely correct.
So, could I double this 1/0 cable I have? I have plenty of it.
