The most important thing I'll be using the inverter for, is my laptop (a lot less power is needed!). Do you think a modified sine wave inverter does the job? To make matters worse, my laptop is a Mac, which presumably is very picky in all possible ways. But that's probably something I should...
Thanks! This is what I needed.
And the conversion table from AWG to mm2:

(just in case another European reads this!)
Right, 1200 watts is a power rating, but it means there's going to be a lot of current. Actually I do not need that much power, I just have an inverter of that size available. AC/DC written wrong way around was a typo.
I was calculating that 1200 W means that on the AC-side (220 V) there is a...
1200W is a lot of current! That's why I was wondering about it. A smaller one would be enough for me, but this is one that I'd get free. Now I just need to to find out what 10 gauge means in square millimeters (by now you probably realize that I am from (continental) Europe! Sometimes I sure...
The specifications of the inverter I am thinking of installing are as follows:
Input 12 V AC
Output 220-240 V DC
Modified sine wave
600 W continuous
1200 W max out
What size of the fuse should there be between the battery and the inverter?
What size (square millimeters) should the cable...
