One thing that puzzles me is the worry about the gauge of the wire that connects two 6V batteries in series. The length would be 1 to 1 1/2 feet and the load about 30 amp. Charts tell me that 12 or 10 gauge would be sufficient.

But people are talking about fabricating 1/0 gauge connectors. I may be not understanding something or perhaps my memory of a 30 amp fuse on my positive lead to the battery bank is wrong.

What is wrong with just getting a short 4 or 6 gauge connector from the auto store?
