Battery Cables USA is where you should purchase your cables.

The interesting part is that the 1/0 0 gauge wire is thicker than the wire included with my power inverter, the problem occurred when I ran my induction stove on high and clocked 1,642 Watts through my Sonoff S31.

On the image below you can see my current setup using breakers and the fuse block.
