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...

Crunching the numbers 14.6 volts 75 amps 14 foot (28 total using 6awg) shows a voltage drop of 5.68% (.83 volts) adding a 4awg to the 6awg would a bit larger then 2/0 awg and a voltage drop of 1.10% (.16).
It would likely be cheaper and more effective to move the converter. Can you?
2/0 133,100 cm
#6 26,600 cm
#4 42,000 cm
#2 66,500 cm
#6 + #4 looks more like #2 than 2/0.

OK how is this?
Inches. MM
#4 0.2043 5.189
#6 0.1620 4.115
0.3663 9.304
#00
2/0 0.3648 9.266
Hmmm not the same is it?
One thing is sure I would NEVER buy sub size wire from the URL you listed. Yet another source
