Hi All,
First off... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I'm yarding out the 20 year old charger inverter (inverter giving out bad juice) and replacing it with a new Pro Mariner 50 Amp charger. The installation instructions call for 6 AWG wire for a run under 15' ( my run is about 8'). The old ginormous charger inverter had 2 AWG wire and ground to the battery with a 250A fuse! The inline fuse for the new charger is 60A.
I think what we have here is new technology. I don't want to make new cables if I can leave the 2 AWG in there. Will that hurt anything? The charger is going to be for a bank of 4 CG batteries (flooded cell).
Anything to do with battery DC cables to switches and busses, the PO's used 2 AWG for everything.
