Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | The smaller the wire you run the closer they must be. If you run 4 gage or 6 gage I'd think you'd be good for any run up to 20 feet. Probably you could get by with 8 gage or 10 gage if it is shorter and you don't need 50+ amps. With the 24V the amp draw should be less than with 12V.
If you use different batteries you must be careful charging as they will charge at different rates and times. I'd get rid of the battery you have and put in a matched set that fits to make it easier to charge, but that's just me. You could try mixing them but I have no idea what that may cause. I'm afraid it won't be good though. |
