    I was wondering if I could upgrade the 400 watt power source to a higher output . I have a 2000 watt inverter I would like to incorporate . Should I rewire or just run a whole new system ? 2nd battery maybe ?

    Just curious the use case for bigger inverter.

    I was looking for options running a small microwave but had no luck for good options. Ended up using a Roadpro 12v electric stove to heat the food.
    I would look for a 2nd 12v battery if I were to run a fridge. Then again have to see how to charge the second battery properly. I guess that's again a study for good DC to DC charger which can charge the second battery properly. I mean the charger should be able to charge the second battery independent of starter battery charge status. Also to cut off from starter battery as needed.
    Solar power charging would be optional.
    Good topic for me as well to know how others did it.

    I learned a lot from AustralianDirect.com about 2nd batteries. I would check them out and watch a few DIY videos.
