That is a bit concerning, do you have a link to the power supply you were trying to use?
It would have to be very thin wire for only 2.7A to melt it.
How big was the deep cycle battery you tried? Even a small battery should be able to supply 2.7A without the battery voltage dropping too badly. Assuming a healthy battery ofcourse.
But the melting wires does sound like something is not quite right.
