If I understand correctly, you have a 12 Volt battery rated at 35 amp hours and want to connect this to a Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter, # 34278156 rated for 2,000 Watt. If you want to operate anything for an extended period of time that needs that large of an inverter then you would need at least 400 AH minimum in your battery bank. So no less than 12. However, trying to wire that many batteries together will cause use of a lot of wire that increases resistance, so be aware of that.

Answer 7

For the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter, #34278156, maxing out or coming close to doing so, you are pulling 2000 watts /12 volts = 167 amps per hour. So if you use a 400 amp battery bank at 12 volts, you would divide 400 amp battery / 167…

You can manually turn off power from your inverter before switching on your shore power, but most people find this tedious and you'll have a delay in power while you switch over. With an automatic transfer switch like the Go Power #342GPTS all…
