wire should be the same gauge as the power cable and must
make direct contact with bare metal of the car or the negative
(-) battery terminal. These directions are general in nature and
only to be used as a general idea of how this installation might
proceed. Always refer to the installation instructions included
with your inverter.
cable recommendations: Inverters 1000 watts and over:
• If battery and inverter are within 4'-6', use #2 gauge AWG
• If battery and inverter are more than 6', use #0 gauge wire
(#0 gauge wire may require a "0 to 4 Gauge Adapter")
• The maximum length generally recommended is 10', and
shorter is better. If you need more length, it is much better to
put it on the AC side (as with an extension cord from inverter
to appliance) than on the DC side.
Know your battery.
• WarnInG: Batteries Produce Explosive Gases. Do Not Smoke
when working with batteries.
• Batteries should be in good condition. Always replace old,
corroded or weak batteries before connecting an inverter.
• Standard automotive batteries are designed to provide starting
power for your vehicle and are not suited to repeated long
discharge and recharge cycles which would be experienced
with inverter use, and will have to be replaced more often than
a deep cycle battery. Deep cycle batteries are designed to be
repeatedly drained and recharged and are a good choice for
connecting an inverter.
