Hi all, I have a luxpower 5kw inverter with 8 450w panels and 4 lead acid 12kv batteries. The inverter was initially installed in the house but due to the noise caused by the inverter fans, I had re-installed it in the garage about 20m away from the DB connected by a 6mm 4core cable. I then started experiencing poor performance as the batteries would last for less than an hour during load-shedding. The performance was exceptionally good while it was inside the house as the batteries would last for more than 2 hours. So, I would like to know if the poor performance is a result of the 20m distance between the DB and the inverter connected by the 6mm 4core surfix cable? Secondly, If you could please advise if it is wise to set the inverter fans at the lowest possible level to reduce the noise as this would inform the decision to relocate them back inside the house?

I have moved my luxpower inverter out of the house due to the noise to the garage. As a result,the distance between my inverter and the DB has changed form 1m to 20m. Since this change happened my batteries don't last beyond 90 minutes during load shedding. Could the longer cable be a reason for the batteries failing to supply electricity beyond 90minutes?
