    Proper Gauge For 2000W Renogy Inverter + 200AH 12v Battery?

    So I've purchased a Renogy 12V 200AH battery and a Renogy 2000W inverter to use as a mini offgrid system should the power go out at home. This is mainly to power my fridge which uses about 600W running and about 1200W surge at most, but I may have other things (like modem, router, Instant Pot)...
