I see the switch/gauge and the tank underneath but where did you mount the actual compressor? I can’t see it or missed an earlier post. Nice clean install!

Follow the silver braided hose left in photo before this post. All exposed wire has since been covered with flexible wire conduit.

nice clean install.  What gauge wire is that?  And how long are the wires?  I'm installing a 3000W inverter in my new build.  Hoping to run an induction cook top.  I have 200AH of LiFePo4 to power things.   :D

Thanks, Vic.

The wires are the entire length that comes with the kit minus about a foot of the positive wire.
This is the kit: https://www.amazon.c...2?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
I could have cut a foot off of the negative as well but I wanted to use the connector that came on it. I just tucked the excess up between batteries.

 

How many watts will your induction cooktop draw?

Bomb, you'll like that inverter, we have the same but in the previous form. Only caution I have is about seeing the terminals exposed. Prob will never happen, but it is in the aisle, and if somehow there was a short to or across the terminals ... the current thru that wire could be major.

 

Congrats on the wrap up. Happy trails !!

about 150A on full.  Which it will only be on for about 5-10 minutes a day.  I tested in the house and d@mn, that thing is fast.

 

That kit comes with 10' of cable?  Wow...   I'm hoping to keeping mine to around 4' or so.
