Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

There was mention of not using the converter/charger that comes with campers as a way to bulk charge the batteries because of how far away they are in most circumstances. In my case, I estimate 28'-30'. Is that because of the normal 6 gauge wire not being able to handle high amp output (over 55-60amps) and the loss of charge running that length?
AGM batteries do not need to be outside. I have a TT and I eliminated any long run issue by moving my AGM inside. It is so close to the converter that I was able to remove the battery cables from the outside junction box and connect them to the converter. My cell phone battery worries me more!
In addition, I mounted an inverter nearby and was able to cut a 5ft starter cable in two to power the inverter(300W PSW).
