Also if your going to run near max watts of the unit like I said the wire supplied with that unit is just for test purposes. I cant find where it says the max size wire that will fit in the lugs.
That wire is too small and probably aluminum..
But if you run 2000 watts thats 166 amps. ( I doubt you have enough batt power and will kill them in short order. Hence why I went with only a 1100 watt inverter. Even that will draw about 90 amps if I max it..
Your batterys will dies a slow death..
For 166 amps you will need to fit 1/0 cable to inverter.
I ran 4 gauge to mine but its only 1100 watts as stated.
