wiring solar to batteries
I had a brain fart. I have 2 12 v batteries do I wire the controller to each battery or pos to one neg to other or or to the on that is farthest away for the FW connection ?

Hi Almot,
The Tristar units do not let out the magic blue smoke when they over load. They simply clip off the excess. (within reason, of course)
TS MPPT, yes, they will clip the output current with no ill consequences, like any other MPPT.
TS PWM will probably let out the magic blue smoke - like any other PWM when exceeding input current limit.
But I was talking here about the 65A "ampacity" rating of #6 wire mentioned by the OP. Wire specs, not controller specs. MPPT will clip (whatever OP would connect to it), so hypothetical max current (hypothetical max because array size wasn't stated) would be limited by MPPT rating = 45A. Wire #6 can safely handle up to 65A.
