Small AC motors and Inverters
Disappointed that my ancient Mod Sine Wave inverter (140W cont, 200W surge) shuts down with a 120W coffee grinder. Works ok with the 400W (cont) MSW inverter built-into the truck, though a little ...

Hi,
Always size the fuse to the wire. Look for voltage drop of no more than 3% (I prefer 1% myself). Look for a T class fuse. Place the fuse as close to the battery bank as is humanly possible. Ditto for the inverter.
Doubling up wire is possible but NOT desirable.
AGM's are fine inside until they are not. If there is a catastrophic failure, they release all sorts of noxious side products such as hydrogen sulfide. You won't catch me having them inside my RV.

Inverter's surge rating current: ~2000W/12V=167A
Inverter's 5min rating current: ~1100W/12V=92A
So 100A Blue Sea MRBF fuse ???
