Do you know where the 6 gauge wire attaches to the battery? I'm thinking that a fuse there, smaller (amperage) than the fused link, would protect the link during 12 v inverter use.
Thanks.

Wait a second though, I don't think the inverters are rated in such a way as to draw in 12v dc as they make in 110v ac. Are they?
If the inverter can surge 2000 watts A/C, that does not mean it draws an equal (converted) draw in DC... does it?
