wires in this assembly are appropriate for loads over

150 watts. The wires in the cigarette plug wire assembly

are too small: do not use them.)

2. Using 3.3mm

(12 AWG) wire or heavier, extend the

power cord if you need to, to a maximum total length of

2 meters (6.5 feet) including the existing 300 Inverter

power cord length. Solder all connections and make

sure they are properly insulated by using electrical tape

or heat shrinkable tubing.

3. Install a 40 amp automotive fuse and a switch rated at

40 amps in the positive (red) wire, close to the end that

will attach to the battery. See Figure 6. The switch lets

you disconnect the DC power if you need to replace the

in-line fuse. Solder and insulate the connections as

detailed in Step 2 above.

4. Turn off the in-line switch.

5. Solder or crimp heavy-duty terminals to the battery end

of the positive and negative wires. Use terminals that

mate properly with the battery terminals or battery

cable clamps.
