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...

Since you suggest no heavy loads, the heaviest load (i.e. most amps that will need to be carried) is your charger/converter (up to 75 amps) I agree, #4 fine strand wire direct from battery with fuse to converter output. Also upgrade the ground connection at the battery. Chassis is OK to use for ground, but make sure the metal is clean and shiny and you have a good connection there. If in doubt, use two grounds from chassis to battery.
