Benn, It's just one of the necessary evils we have to put up with.
Size it at least as large as the main leads, (2/0 or 4/0?) Sometimes we have to go around supports and vent fans and such in the boxes. I like getting the cells and welding the straps onto them or bolting them directly together, when possible. I like this, mind if I "liberate" it? "Sent from a 'smart' phone, with tiny keys.

How detrimental will that be to the overall efficiency? Should it be OK or should the awg size for the longer cable be larger? What other factors should I consider?
