Ok. Final update. The 2 gauge wires worked well. Voltage went down to 12.9 this morning and I expect it will go back up to 14.5 with the sun. There is an FYI I'd like share. I have a remote switch for the inverter, which is a regular 15 amp residential wall switch. I was only able to use 6 gauge...

Golly. I love this group. Wish there was a voting system to vote for the best answer but it seems to be the consensus the connections are too small. I've been very busy but I guess I'll try 2 gauge wires as that's the largest I'll be able to connect. As soon as I have time.

12 gauge and 20' 2 6 volt

I tried a test to see if  my 600 watt PSW inverter would power a 75 watt 1 amp fridge and it over powers the inverter. Seems weird. Any ideas?

Gee.. thanks for all the help. :)

I would like to go to a 24 volt system as I want more stand by power and bigger /cheaper solar panels. I want to run a 110 volt fridge on the inverter 24/7  and be able to run a 12 volt swamp cooler. I want to shoot for 1000 watts with 4- 6 volt batteries. What I'm not sure how of at this point...
