Some inverters are very specific about the length of the cable (maximum distance) that be run between the batteries and the inverter itself.

I carefully reread the manual and they only specified a 4 gauge wire. After looking at some other wire selection tables, I think they are being very conservative, which is why they don't mention length.

I would add to that plan that the 12-Volt wire/cable sizes should be verified as adequate for inverter size.

Unfortunately the converter wires look to be either 6 or 8 gauge (hard to read).
Another issue is the no load current draw is 0.85A, so I will have to remember to turn it off when not in use. Maybe I should have bought a unit with a remote.
