Wire gauge isn't the only consideration. Check all crimps and connections in the DC path. A bad one can cause more drop than the wire.

I understand that the Vd diff. from 13.6V @ 15A and 14.2V @45A is .1V but the meters when set nuts on at 14.2V are off by at least .3V @ 13.6V. This is not wire sizing issues nor does that explain the calibration drift over a few days. >From the Solar, Wind and Hydro powered office of Jeff Oldham/Regenerative >SOLutions
