Suggested cable size

Post by Kappy »

Been awhile , back on deck and making progress.

Just installed my 3 modified 24v 200 watt solar panels (now 12v 600 watt) to my large trailer.

I have 3 older 100ha AGM that seem to have a little life still left in em.

The 12 volt power on the trailer is really on to provide power to the trailer breakaway brake system, my 12 volt tailgate winch, my trailer wireless security system and 12 v led lights and maybe Engel/Waeco or 2.

My question , one I should know!! is what gauge cable should I use to connect the batteries to 30 amp controller, less than 2 metres.

Temp connection is using 4 gauge.
