Why won't 2000w inverter run 900w microwave?
I bought a 2000w Nature Power pure sine inverter from camping world. I had my local rv dealer install the inverter (and a power tongue jack) that I bought a CW. It was $200 in parts and $500 in ...

I read it as the inverter beeps low voltage after 4 seconds which is consistent with trying to draw so many amps from a single set of 6v batteries. Even a tenth of a volt or two extra drop from small wires will make it worse.
In addition there is a phenomenon where the initial voltage drop when pulling a large load from batteries is deeper than steady state a few seconds later when a load begins. As was suggested above, pulling 200 w for say 20 seconds, then turning it off and trying the microwave might actually help, even though it is counter intuitive.
