The wire charts and calulators show 10 ga to be far more than adequate for 60 amps on a 3 ft run. I'd get a different converter, and notice I said converter, not no power supply.Larryect wrote:
I'm no expert on this topic, but I would try larger wires. I think at least AWG 6, maybe larger.
10 gauge is 30 amp rated, in AC. a 3 foot run in DC is run both ways, and considered a 6 foot run. I'd want something rated at least 75 amps or better, with a 1% or less loss, for 6 ft run, so as to not fool the charger with resistance to the battery and thinking the battery is over 80% SOC. I'd run 4 gauge to play it safe, so it's a non issue.
Wire gauge chart rated to only 3% loss.
