Usually for the larger inverters (>400 watts maybe) they don't use connectors, rather you just wire the cables directly to the battery, they might ahve an internal fuse (best to have a second fuse unless you want to risk having that heated seat option).
The current draw will be very high on the 24 volts, so a connector unless specifically made for high current will likely melt. Also remember when doing your calculations, that the inverters are not 100% efficient. Most are somewhere around 80% efficient. -Tony |
