I really don't think enough people run the calculations, and there's something like 100,000 electrical fires a year in America. As said, it should be 'about' 2 gauge, but when you read the reviews you'll see things like, 'Didn't come with wire so used 6 gauge wire and the inverter would kick off before hitting 1200 watts,' or 'I used the provided 4 gauge wire and I smelt the wires burning.' If you look at Amazon reviews, a lot of people write bad reviews when they have dangerously installed the inverter. So, if you have a 1200 watt inverter, 1200/12*1.2=120 amps, and go to a wire size calculator and get wire for 3% loss or less. Also need to take into account both ways. Black clip is negative pole battery clamp, Red clip is positive pole battery clamp. For electrical testing equipment up to 300 volts 28 gauge Specifications.

14 AWG Red and Black heavy duty 100 copper wire with two alligator clip. Set of 10 test leads in 5 different colors with insulated double alligator clips. These test leads utilize 18 AWG PVC wire or 20 AWG coil cord wire. The 682 test lead features the 9274 standard insulated alligator (crocodile) clip to the 9201 standard pin plug with the diameter of the plug measuring at 0.080 in (2.03 mm). Really need to see how long it is from your inverter to the battery, and not as the bird flies, but as the cable goes. Length: 7.5ft, AWG: 14, Rated Current: 10A built in Fuse, Male and Female connector Input, Alligator Clip End. Alligator Clip to 0.080 Pin Plug, 18 AWG PVC Test Lead - 682 from E-Z-HOOK, a division of Tektest, Inc. Not doing these calculations can cause things like voltages drops and the inverter kicking off, wires heating up excessively, smelling of melting/burning insulation or fires. Often used to join conveyor belt seams, use this lacing for a tight hold with uniform tension across the width of your belt. This got me 2/0 wire from the battery to the inverter on a 5' run for a 2000 watt inverter. I'm not saying to buy a $100 crimper, but inverter wire is depended on amps to the (inverter watts/DV Voltage)*1.2 and then length, and ran through a DC calculator. I know home depot goes larger than 2/0, maybe 4/0, maybe larger. You can get all sorts of wire at the hardware store. I got a hydraulic crimper for 2/0 wire for $100, because I don't like the idea of a connection sealed with a hammer. If the 12 AWG is not on the AC side, it would be DC going from the battery to the inverter, which I think a 12 AWG DC run would need to be very short.

I'm going to say check the manual on this to be sure. An assumption of mine is that the 12 AWG wire would go on the AC side. As I'm reading this, 16 AWG is skinnier than 12 AWG, so 12 AWG should be better.
