Perhaps. But I would think is that doing that would not only void my warranty but perhaps destroy the wire hole or damage the ability of the set screw to hold the wire. It is certainly a step I would...

How far do you run 6 gauge to the first junction?...

How far do you run 6 gauge to the first junction? The total input run for us is about 16 feet, all of it 4 gauge except for the last 3 feet.

I have never used my crimping tool on a ferrule so I...

What I ended up taking away from all of this is that different tables and/or calculators give varying results. Some tables indicate that 6 gauge is OK, others that 5 gauge (and hence 4 gauge since I...

That looks very helpful but I don't know how much of a voltage drop the unit can take. If it truly is 0.2 volts then I do need 5 gauge wire. What I found interesting is that when I brought the 6...

The OUTPUT side of the charger has a very short run length, perhaps 5 feet, and it is not the issue. 8 gauge wire would probably be enough. The issue is the INPUT side. I measured today and while I...

We bought 2 years ago and at that time Winnebago was offering a Lithium Option for one of the Class Bs, I think the ERA but I am not sure. As far as I know it was not available for the Fuse at that...

4 gauge for all but the last 3 feet and 6 gauge for that.

The 20 amp Renogy only calls for 6 gauge so this seems more than sufficient. The original wiring (before I moved the unit) was for the 40...

If you find it I would appreciate you either posting it or sending it as a PM. In the meantime I will go to HomeDepot and try to see if they have any wire that seems appropriate and will fit into the...

I just did a Google search for wire mm2 to gauge (or something like that) and picked 2 of the links. This one is a calculator. Enter 16 in the mm2 entry and you get 5 gauge wire.

The Victron manual does not specify 5 gauge wire, but only the cross sectional size. I guess that the conversion is an estimate since the two sites I used both gave 5 gauge as the proper conversion...

When I checked out 6 gauge wire for the Renogy charger at the local auto store the wire they showed me was single strand. The multi-strand 6 gauge wire that I have is far too thick to fit into the...

I had seen that as well, but I was looking for wire that was longer and did not have the connection loops on it. I probably need something like 3 feet.



I had assumed that 4 gauge wire would be...

Given the issues I have had with the Renogy 40 amp DC-DC charger I thought I would get the Victron 30 amp charger instead. Ordered it from a local supplier and it arrived earlier this week. Today I...
