I'm working out the details of a solar electrical layout for a trailer conversion.
I'd like some confirmation on some of the needed wire size. I am planning on four 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries in 2S2P to give 24V 200Ah. I am planning on the Victron 24V 2000W inverter/charger. Its manual states that 2AWG wire with a 200A fuse should be used for a 24V system (2/0AWG, 300A for 12V).
Does this mean I should use 2AWG wire for all of the wires connecting all of the batteries together, connecting the batteries to the busbars, and connecting the inverter/charger to the negative busbar and the 200A fuse (which in turn is connected to the positive busbar)?
Am I correct that this choice of wire gauge is independent of the number of batteries? It would be the same whether I had 2, 4, or 6 batteries wired up to be 24V?
