An 1,100 watt inverter will draw as much as 100 amps DC.

You also need to minimize the distance to the batteries. A location 10' away will require #4 wire to keep the voltage drop down to about 1/2 volt.

David, Thanks it came with about 3 foot sections of #4 wire, fortunately most logical spots are really close to the battery. The Red wire came with a an ANL fuse already installed, I will need to check the amperage rating on that. For my education I assume when you say it can draw 100amps how is that determined? I'm trying to understand what situation would make that occur?
Thanks for the advice!
