The connector in the MPPT 100/15 is not oversized.The connectors on the Victron equipment are suitable in size, and are actually oversized in many cased for 10%.
15 A requires a 5 mm2 cable according to Victron and that is exactly the size of the connector. A bigger cable, the 6 mm2 is not going to fit with a ferrule.
The 100 /30 MPPT controller does have a larger connector, the 6 mm2 with ferrule will fit there, but according to Victron you should use a 10 mm2 cable and getting that into the connector with a ferrule is a bit of a nightmare. It is easy when the MPPT controller is hanging at eye level with no other equipment around it. But when the controller is mounted in an awkward space, with little room to maneuver it is not so easy anymore.
Also the 100 / 30 is not oversized.
