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) connected to it at the same time. The inverter seems to come with two 3ft 4AWG inverter cables. I was reading online though that this would only be safe up to 1500W of energy though. Should I go with a different AWG if I wanted to max this out to the full 2000W? Not sure why Renogy would send cables rated for less than what the max output of the inverter is, especially if safety issue. Battery would basically be right next to inverter, so maybe 3 feet max if that. Thanks for your help!
