Converter voltage drop
Just replaced lead acid with LFE (200ah) and want to change converter to a lithium specific unit. Current unit WFCO WF-9855. My LFE's suggest a 14.4v bulk charge. Converter's I'm considering all bul...

This is best case and assumes all connections and terminals are properly tightened and crimped. Everyone has their own personal preference in terms of an acceptable voltage drop. We typically strive for less than 2%. YMMV.
. . . I have 6g on an approx. 10' one way run between battery and converter. New converter will be a 45A model. A 1.5% drop will bring 14.6v down to 14.4v. Based on my limited knowledge, I'm thinking I'll have at least a 1.5% drop . . .
