I have a 2015 6 cylinder 4x4 Sprinter with a 220 amp alternator and the factory auxiliary battery and relay. I want to add an Outback 2000+ watt inverter/charger/shore power/solar system, shore power protection, and maybe more batteries.
My question is can I connect the new inverter/system to the relay under the seat, and ground it to the chassis? Outback says to use 00 electrical connection cables directly to the battery terminals. I worry that the factory battery cable to the existing auxiliary battery might be too small. I also worry that the electrical connection from the alternator to the batteries could be too small, heat up, and blow fuses.
Other threads on this forum seem to say it's OK to connect a 2000 watt inverter to the relay though. Please advise. thanks
