- Naio,
That link should be required reading. There are a whole bunch of other topics there that are useful. And there is even a Peukert Calculator to download. scrubjaysnest wrote:

One more question do you think 6awg is enough to go from controller to battery, I have a lot left.
What is post-controller max current and what is one-way cable length?
it is 45A Mppt and the run is under 3'. it said wire is rated 65 ampsColo Native wrote:

What is post-controller max current and what is one-way cable length?- Thanks Guys after this it all came back to me. One more question do you think 6awg is enough to go from controller to battery, I have a lot left.

- Wiring to the positive on one battery and negative on the other is the correct and balanced way to do this. All other loads and charging should be done the same way.
- Mine came factory installed. They wired the positive to one battery (with an inline fuse) and the negative to the other battery.
