Research: What we found - The important item for battery wiring is to use stranded wire.It also has to be sized large enough to withstand the amount of current (amps) passing through the wire.Too small a wire has the immediate potential of overheating, melting the wire insulation and the plastic coating resulting in a fire.
Visit your favorite search engine for AWG (American Wire Gauge) chart.Use the chart to size your wire based on the length between each component and the gauge to handle the amps.
Note: When measuring DC wire length, double the number as DC requires a return wire.
Note:A 2,000 watt inverter is popular for campervan builds as most house hold wall circuits pull 1800 watts.Many circuits in a home use 15 amp circuit breakers.The household voltage is usually 120 volts.120v x 15a = 1,800 watts.
Note: Many RV's use a 30 amp plug pulling 3,600 watt from the power post.120v x 30a = 3,600 watts.
