ExpertPower 12v 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger

Sounds like nice inverter-charger. I typically see 135-140 amp discharge when running our 15,000 btu rooftop air. That includes everything else in the camper, including the 12-volt fridge.
I'm using 24" long double 2/0 cables between the batteries and the inverter-charger.

That is what I estimated for current. The cables that came with the inverter are to small. I have 2 pair of 3 ft 2/0 I can use.

No, the type I refer to is wall plug one end with bare wires on the other. Just as bad as the one you refer to.

My suicide cords are 3-prong wall plug at one end, alligator clips on the other end. I do cut the wires to different lengths for the alligator clips such that they don't touch each other.

... so I guess they're really "calling for attention cords" rather than "suicide cords".

The cables that came with my 2000w version were unmark no-name and ran hot, on cutting they were CCA and are now in the trash.

For my standard power cord
I cut the end off an old computer cord and put them into the AC input and screwed down. Can't be a suicide cord as it has no power until plugged into the wall. Now if you were to plug it in first, then try to hook it up it would be a "darwin" cord.
