Wiring and batterys

Poor Mans Electric








Use care when doing any type of wiring. Follow your inverter directions.
I like to use deep cycle marine battery's. They seem to hold a charge longer
and charge up faster.Below are several battery wiring configurations 12v-48v and depending on your inverter which will most likely be of the 12v variety your battery's should be wired as such. to wire the inverter to your house I recommend that you get two heavy duty plugs and some 10 gauge wire that has 3 wires within a casing. The colors should be black, green, and white. Black is the hot lead white is the neutral lead and green is the ground. Note in your electrical box where the main power lines come in, fashion your wires coming out your inverter accordingly. In a perfect world try to have your motor run on propane because it is cheaper than gasoline. Pay attention to your electrical usage so you do not completely discharge your battery's and good luck. 
PS on a smaller scale you can run your internet the with a setup that is similar only without the motor. I have included a picture of that as well.
