The OP said it was 2' away so 4' feet is total length seems the working assumption; which gives a little less than 0.6 volts drop at 150 amps and #10 wire, not 1.2V.
Even if someone had been so truly foolish to put in such a laughably under sized wire losing 0.6 volts would still should not cause the inverter to brown out, nor would 1.2V for that matter unless the battery was already near dead and we know it was not.
Hopefully the unit is now fixed, maybe we could hear what they found?
