What gauge wire needed to parallel 12v deep cycles
What gauge wire do I want to parallel two deep cycle group 27 batteries? The system will run through a 1200 watt inverter. Thanks

Two LED tv’s, one satellite receiver, 27 wats in LED lights and a ceiling fan. I calculated it out to about 600 watts
Those items do not add up to 600W. LED TVs are probably around 30W apiece, the satellite receiver about the same, and a normal ceiling fan no more than 100W and usually a good bit less. You're probably closer to 200W actual power consumption at most.
I was going off the Honda website with what they rated different appliances.
As far as the 6 volt CG batteries go, I may consider this at a later date. I am trying to spare expenses. I had two deep cycles in my boat for the trolling motor. I will need to replace my TT deep cycle in the spring and may look into two 6 volts at that time.
Again, thanks to all for the info. I ma learning a lot. I may need to look for an "an electricity for Dummies" book so I can get more knowledgeable on this subject.
