Wire gauge recommendation
To get the most efficent charging to my batteries, with cost kept in mind, what wire gauge should I use between the batteries and charger? I have a pair of 6v gc batteries. They're about 12-15 fee...

I kind of figured y'all would say the 6 gauge was on the small side so I have no problem going up in wire size.
However, some of you have me concerned about the Boondocker 75A charger hurting my batteries. Short of "junking" the charger for something smaller, what should I do? Can I somehow limit the current out of the Boondocker? Would adding 2 more batteries help?
BTW: what happens when you put too much current into the batteries? Can I keep the same set up (with larger cables) and check water level more often or does something else happen to them that I can't control?
