Those sizes are a real bear to work with, let alone threading it around a greasy frame. That was why I was looking at 24v to start with. I guess it boils down to the work to change cable v.s. the expense of a vanner DC-DC converter and all the other stuff to add a 24V bus. > The 320 amp unit is $1,500 new.

This is too much thinking for an old retired guy. At least it is not cold anymore so I have some time before I have to worry about getting a Proheat although that is in the back of my mind when looking at pumps, etc (12 vs 24).
