"Our trailer has a WFCO converter, model number WF8955. According to the specs it has automatic three-stage charging with output voltage modes of 13.2 VDC range “float” mode, 13.6 VDC range “absorption” mode, and a 14.4 VDC range “bulk” charge mode. Anything to be aware of with this type of converter and my proposed battery configuration? Also, any suggestions on which cable to purchase for connected the batteries in series? I want something solid."
- Nothing "different" to consider using 6V batteries in series. You're just turning them into a 12V battery.
Regarding cable for the jumper wires, whatever you use will likely be of the same or better quality than what is installed in the camper.
For an (estimated) 60A current, 6ga is sufficient. I'd probably go 4ga though, minimum. You can buy a couple short premade cables (2 or 4ga) at any auto parts store likely or find some on Amazon real quick, or make your own with some bulk cable and ring terminals.
Presuming the + and - cables existing are long enough to get to both batteries.
