Rerouting Converter Connection

Been thinking about rerouting the 12V output connection of my PDI 80 amp converter to reduce voltage drop when in boost mode.

Current configuration:
Converter (rear of coach) -> 12V Power Panel (rear of coach) -> Battery Disconnect (front of coach) -> Batteries (rear of coach)

I intend to route new cables from the Converter directly to the Batteries with an 80 amp breaker (or fuse if I cannot source a self resetting breaker). This would reduce the length of the run fro the Converter to the batteries from about 65 feet to about 12 feet. Figure some number 4 ought to do it.

Am I setting myself up for any pitfalls by not running the Converter through the disconnect?

Not clear, but you do want to rewire from converter to power panel to battery not straight to the battery, by-passing the panel.

The 12v items that are run from the battery direct would still work AFAIK, because they do not use that existing path from panel to disconnect switch

If you are also wiring in a big inverter near the batteries you can share wires with the converter. A big amp ANL fuse is an option for the shared pos wire near (or on) the pos battery post.

EDIT--PT's post seems mixed up to me.
