The ring connectors that connect to my battery are the type where you can see the cable strands on the ring side of the connector. If I wiggle the cable, the strands on the ring side move. My unde...

I found this by finding a voltage drop in the cable under load- I forget the specifics, but under a heavy load (probably ~300 amps) I had a significant loss, exacerbated by the fact that this system uses 2 volt batteries, so a fraction of a volt per connection adds up.
I'm estimating my max MPPT charging amps as 25A, and it's possible my my 110V battery charger could get up to 60A if the batteries are severely depleted, but I'm sure it will be a lot less normally. I'm fusing it at 60A anyway.
As for loads, well they are a lot, lot less, and I'm not even wiring for those. That wiring came with the trailer and I wasn't planning on changing that.
