You are correct. I had heard that too. I did check the auto parts store and they had 2 gauge cable for $4/ft! I then checked my welding supply store and they have 1 gauge (car store didn't even have 1 gauge) for $2/ft. And it's that super flexible welder cable too. I also ordered another battery disconnect switch on ebay so I can wire this 2k inverter directly to my battery bank and still be able to shut it off from the battery bay. I had wired the 600 watt inverter to a lug just after the existing battery disconnect switch. I'll leave that one there.
