Magnum recommends 2/0 for a maximum run of 5', Xantrex recommends 4/0 with a maximum run of 10' (both one way).

If it were mine, I would go 4/0 no matter what. I was going to say I would not go with the DLO cable, but the diameter is only .07" larger, and from Skycraft, it's only $4.31/ft compared to $4.22/ft. for welding cable- caveat is a 20 ft minimum order for the DLO, 10 for the welding cable.
