[QUOTE="franner11, post: 260160, member: 4157"] I need to extend the length of both sets of cables from my on board battery charger to reach each battery. I was wondering if I should simply splice the cables with 12 awg (or 10 awg?) before the inline fuse and extend, or if I should buy the $25 each set cables online. Seems like a no brainer to me: splice is the way to go since I have the wire....right? Any downsides to splicing vs. buying the cables? (aside from the obvious, if bad connections are made)? I have this charger: It's a 2-bank , 4 amps per bank, 12v setup. https://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-XPS-Intelligent-Technology-Series-OnBoard-Marine-Battery-Charger-XPS-iT-4/4/product/10224683/101219 FYI, moving my charger closer to the batteries is not an option. Thanks in advance! Fran [/QUOTE]
