NOTE: For broader suitability, 10 ft. wires are provided with each kit to cover
distance of up to 10 ft. To prevent unnecessary voltage drop, cut off excess length of
wire that is more than the distance between the battery and inverter. For example, if
the distance is 3 ft., use only 3 ft. and cut off the balance 7 ft.
