Going to a higher voltage like 24 would make the long cabling less of a problem, but I assume your inverter is 12v. Is your inverter due for replacing?
No, inverter is good. I currently have it very close to the current battery compartment but on the inside so cable length is fairly short, maybe 18". I probably could move the inverter closer to the new location for the battery but haven't really decided if it is worth the effort. Currently we use the inverter for baby warmers and the wife's coffee maker which pulls ~700 watts. I don't think we would have any higher wattage use other than these items. Not going to run the AC or microwave off of it.
