I wonder how well the cable used for welding leads would work for that.


I hear it works well. But after seeing how the non tinned existing
cables got all puffy at a nick I can see the advanges of all tinned

Thanks for the link. Very useful !

That shows a 24V, 50A system as having a drop of 1.4% with a 30 foot run
of 2/0 cable and that would be below the 2% rule of thumb mentioned there.
