in YETI PORTABLE POWER STATIONS

Own a 1500X and it's too heavy for my husband or I to be moving around. Plan is to keep Yeti in one room and run extension cords to fridge, freezer, etc. Is there a particular gauge of extension cord to use? Thanks in advance.

    Use a 10 gage extention cord no longer than 50ft. If you use smaller gage they will heat up. Heat means more energy used and your battery will drain faster. Keep your inverter close to your high energy devices. I have read if your inverter catches fire your home owners insurance will not cover your damages.
