Lithium batteries and new solar charger
I am replacing my 4 6V batteries I think 2 lithium, have never been impressed by the 30A PWM charger for my 600W solar, probably my fault for using 8 avg wire on a 9m run. Thinking if I get a Victron ...

Ok the speech from manufacturer is charge to 14.4-14.6 then float at 13.3-13.8V.
The BMS is set to cut out at 11.6V and above 15.0V the 11.6 threshold equates to about 2-5% remaining battery capacity.
The manufacturer recommended to connect loads and charging with 00 cable but my 3000W Magnum hybrid inverter charger specs is for 0000 which is what I currently have but may not be able to fit to batteries and BMS. I have never used over 200A as per my display running microwave fridge etc not HW or air conditioner and according to cable chards 00 can handle 200A for quite some distance. My inverter to batteries and back no more than about 2m. Why do the Magnum call for 0000.
