Inverter Swap 1000 for 2000watts
I have a fried 1000watt inverter/ charger, and I am wondering if I can swap it w a 2000watt one without any other changes to my electrical system.? They are the same brand and are the same exact unit,...

I run an AIMS Power 2000 watt PSW inverter and mine is as close to the battery bank as I can get it without it being in the battery box itself, it's maybe a foot away. I used neoprene jacketed stranded welding cable bought by the foot at the local welding supply store, cut back the insulation, tinned the ends and crimped on solid copper TECO lugs with a inline 100amp lug fuse on the positive feed. (my 110 power needs aren't that great). I prefer perked coffee in my stainless Cabelas percolator. No Keurig here...lol All I run is my CPAP machine and maybe charge my FRS radio's.
The AIMS power PSW like the Xantrex comes with a remote on-off module (real nice) but unlike the Xantrex, the idle current is extremely low, couple milliamps. Just enough to excite the capacitors. In fact, I often times forget to turn mine off when I'm not using it.
Very happy with it.
