I have had several people tell me that running a microwave on a battery bank is tough. I just installed (3) sets of 6V batteries. I used 0 gauge. Using #4 to from the batteries to inverter didn't cut it even though its only roughly 8 ft. I then ran 0 to it and it ran perfect. I ran it into a 2500w (4KW pep) modified step inverter. From the inverter I used #10 romex to a outlet. Then the fuse panel box I used #10 with a plug for the outlet.
My microwave runs perfect. Its a 1100 watt (draws 1700 watts of power). Being Onan free is nice Smile

It was SUPER WELL WORTH the time it took to piece together! Having AC power with zero noise, zero smell equals one BIG Smile!!!!!!

I'm going to get rid of the Microwave however and get a 600 watt. I think its consumption will be roughy 45% less then what I have now.
