Bus Bars - 150A rated ok?
Have 500AH battery (LIFePO4) and a 3000 watt Samlex inverter. Wiring is all going through bus bars. I made an order to get new ones, received Blue Seas 4 post rated at 150 amps. I thought I had ordere...

0000 cable is .049 ohm/1000ft, or .000049 per foot.
00 is .078/1000ft, or .000078 per foot.
Those both seem like negligible amounts to me, especially since the wire runs are so short. I'm not smart enough to calculate the actual difference in voltage or amps arriving at the battery. Perhaps someone could.
