title says it all.....well not all but. this is purely my battery link cables and what power they sap.
i have a fair idea of how to calculate this... just wanted to make sure its valid (the internet seems to be overcomplicating the matter)
each length of wire between the batteries are around 10cm each and measure 0.1 ohms, i have 5 of them.
Vdrop = IxR ...... so my 5 - 20amps max x 0.1ohms = 0.5 to 2volts!!! just to my wires??
this is quite alarming.... and a fair waste of power i assume..... would swapping out to a wider lower ohm cable such as speaker cable improve efficiency?
