Bruce # 6 is good for 50 amps continuous, #4 is good for 75. Your
charger will make 72, or a touch higher when the batteries are really
hungry.
I did get some warmth in the #4 at woodburn, but not much. The PFC20s
with #10 gage output, doing 28.5 amps for 30minutes will get noticeably
warm. So I am upping the Gage by one on the 50s.
Nothing bad, I just want to heat the Lead not the copper!!!
