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 3.3mm2 (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.
