Obviously I made a mistake. I thought increasing the cable size that came with the inverter from 6awg to 2/0 was a good idea and adequate. But after looking at Will's link to cable size https://www.altestore.com/diy-solar...inverter-cables-sizing-and-breakers-or-fuses/ it looks like I should be using 4/0 cable.
I have a 3500 watt inverter (surge 7000w)
24v battery (2s, 12v) Gel
I have 2/0 cable connecting and a 300 a fuse
So if I understand correctly I should at least replace the 300a fuse with a 200a.
That seems to limit the inverter to 2500w?
Ideally, ordering some 4/0 wire would correct my mistake.
I'm learning, so any comments are appreciated
