Connecting inverter straight to vehicle start battery

Hi, how to connect a victron 12/800 inverter straight to vehicle’s start battery to charge bluetti power station. I am running 6gauge wire with a 80A fuse but it does not work. The inverter will only be used when the vehicle is running to charge the Bluetti when solar is not enough on cloudy days.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Make sure the little green connector block with the black jumper is inserted. Those two pins need to be jumped together as it acts as a remote on/off switch. If you measure DC voltage at the inverter terminals and don’t see any power, then your fuse may be blown.
