Battery Bank Wire Size
I built my battery bank four 12 volt deep cycle batteries with 340 amp hours. At the time I had not added the 500 watts of solar and a 2000 watt inverter that I now have. At the time I used 2 ...

Thanks for all the input
After installing the new 2/0 cross over wires for my four 12 volt battery bank I performed a load test with batteries only using the the Microwave.
AND
I saw no improvement on voltage drop.
I do however think that the upgrade from 2awg to 2/0 is a better fit for the 4/0 main 5' Inverter to battery cable.
So far I have to say my 500 watt 2000 watt Inverter solar system has performed as I had hoped. I may add two more 100 watt panels in the future with a bigger charge controller.
Plus I will be changing the batteries next year.
I'm glad I up-sized the 10ga panel wires to 8ga when I did the install.
