Next message: Cam, Lee, Maya & Fynn: "Re: [world-cruising] I need Inverter/Charger recommendations"
Sounds to me like you could not possibly use the full potential of the
inverter. A 2000 watt output would require 200 amp delivery from your
battery bank. The wire size from the battery bank would need to be at least
0 AWG. to handle the load.
I would suggest you consider one or more of the following:
Determine if you need such a large inverter.- A 1000 watt inverter will
have a surge capacity to 1800 watts
Methods of battery recharging.
Increasing the current capacity of your battery bank by a factor of four
or five
Consider that you might have to replace your batteries sooner than you
might expect because of high loads and deep cycling. Even AGM's last longer
with a light duty cycle.
Investigate a small gen set.
My inclination is to reduce consumption rather than increase complexity and
cost. Just my opinion.
