When searching with teh IR temp gun for the hottest temperature passing 40 amps at 14.4ish volts, the 45 amp anderson powerpoles on the 8awg, got as hot as 97f in 70f ambient.
the wires nearby varied, harder to pin down, read from 70 to 91f, and generally got cooler the further away from teh anderson connectors, but one tighter wire bend that should have been far enough away from meanwell heat to not soakany up, was warmer .
I had another powerpole passing 25 schumacher 'smart' amps,;) and it also got to 97f, but it was connected to a 45 amp powerpole with 10AWG, and that wire right next to powerpole read 101.5f and quickly got cooler as it got nearer the common terminal of my Load 1/2/both/off switch.
Within a minute it rose to 14.4v at 65combined amps, but over the next 3 minutes lowered to 14.1v and stayed there for 9 minutes before raising to 14.2.
The AH counter displayed 54Ah from full when I first applied the 65 amps.
The battery voltage had rebounded to 12.06v, 4 minutes after removing all but 0.2a of load. The load just previous to removal of all loads( but 0.2a) was 13.3 amps and battery voltage was 11.61v.
The battery temperature raised 7.4f in those 19 minutes of 65 amps, to 70.9f.
This battery was purchased in late November 2013, and has approximately 750 deep cycles on it, likely about a hundred to about 35% SOC.
I don't know if I'll be awake when amps taper to 0.45a or less at 14.7v, indicating 100% charge, but it would be very interesting data to accumulate.
