Battery wiring resistance question
This is just hypothetical, so I can learn something. If you had 15' of negative wire going to the battery, and 10' of positive wire... and there was 2 or 3' of slack in the shorter positive wire......

The pos and neg paths do not have to be the same length or gauge. The R on the circuit is the total of the R on the pos and the R on the neg paths
So if you reduce the R on the pos path only that helps with the total R. It may or may not be "worth it."
Lengths of these paths not to be confused with the lengths of the links between the batteries themselves for balance.
Would there be an imbalance if four 6v's were wired in series/parallel, and the series wires were both the same length, and the parallel wires were the same length, but the parallel wires were shorter than the series wires?
Thanks.
No
