How to Select and Purchase Battery Inverter Cables Part1

In this series I describe my method for choosing a proper gauge of cable for the application based on length, continuous draw, surge draw, and other factors. While a novice user would be best served by following the user manual, a more educated consumer would be better served by following this selection method.

    Good info. Just a side note, on the front of the box, it says it has 3000 watts of surge power, not the 2000 that you thought.

    the first manual is correct in saying you can use 2awg wire. 1500w divided by 12v is 125amps. there for going off the chart you pulled up, using 2awg wire would be fine to use

    Awesome videos. Thank you so much. Please tell me if my thinking is incorrect here. I am building a battery box for a small camp. After all the money I have spent thus far, why wouldn't I just get 4/0 cables cut to length and terminated with rings? Can you have too much wiring between your components!

    This may or may not be such a minor point, but 1500W/12V = 125A. That's important when sizing cabling and selecting the correct fuse.
