In order to plug the trickle/smart charger on the batteries I need to convert them to 12 volts, I need to buy a short wire to do so, is 4 gauge big enough? and which terminal do I use? the threaded one or the bigger one? from what I see on google image most people use the threaded one.
It's amazing that this project (5 months?) didn't end up in magnificent fireworks yet. Perhaps a sheer luck.
Yes, 4 gauge is big enough. 14 or 18 gauge will be sufficient. Any piece of old lamp cord. Terminal type doesn't matter, for this application.
For eventual use on a camping, that #4 cable from Canadian Tire will do.
