What determines battery cable size?
Hey all, I'm looking into replacing the factory battery cables in the spring to hopefully get more efficient (as in shorter) generator charging time. My question is, what do I "need to do" vs. what...

I recommend pulling new #4 wire for the positive as that is about max to fit the connectors. Upgrade the ground connections as well. Though the frame is fine for the negative connection. Yes an 80 amp fuse or breaker should be near the battery. Any branch circuits should be fused according to wire size. That circuit breaker thing is probably a self resetting breaker and should be junked.
Solar is an independent direct connection to the battery.
Boondocker is well known to fast charge to about 75% then an extended trickle charge. If the voltage is manually controlled fine otherwise I would exchange it for Progressive Dynamics or IOTA.
