Doug,

This past spring I did just what you are considering, spliced a 10' extension wire on an onboard charger to my cranking battery. The advise I was given by a service tech from pro-mariner was to use 10-12ga. wire. Solder and shrink tube the connections, don't crimp them or use wire nuts.

Also make sure that the inline fuse is within a foot or two of the battery.

I did as was instructed and have not had any problems with the charger.

Ubuck
