2kw Inverter + 4 GC2 6v batteries = wiring???
I now have 4- 6volt GC2 215 batteries, PD9270 converter charger, and and a ProSine 1800 watt inverter (2800 watt surge) and want to start wiring. I have a quantity of 2 AWG wire on a spool, a suppl...

Here is the voltage drop and wire gauge sizes recommended by Xantrex per watt of their inverters. I thought it might be helpful to have this chart in the thread, too.
At 2000 watts it shows 2 AWG wire has over twice the drop as 4/0, so two #2 wires should be close to 4/0, which agrees with time2roll's earlier comment about it.
Also, since it looks like #2 AWG is plenty for the 9270, a substantial savings can be had by using a single #2 wire everywhere except the leads from the battery bank to the inverter.
Does that sound correct?
