How to work out the correct battery cable for the job?
If the total amperage is 108amps the advised cable, to allow for margins, would be 135Amps 20mmsq cable If you do not know the total amperage, but know the total wattage of the items you are running from the Battery, you can calculate the total amperage by dividing the wattage by 12
What do you need to know about battery cables?
Battery cables are meant for use only with batteries and electrical systems. They are not general-purpose wires that you can use to connect a device to the power source. Battery cables often come in the form of harnesses and provide many advantages over loose cords and wires.

Where can I find 1 / 0 AWG battery cables?
1/0 AWG battery cables should be used on power inverters rated up to 3500 watts and most commonly used on 2000, 2200, 2500, 3000, 3300 and 3500 watt inverters. You can find our 1/0 AWG cables here on IRU and on Amazon. We have 200A and 300A ANL fuses and fuse kits available for use with 1/0 AWG cables.
