I'm upgrading to lithium batteries and at the same time I was thinking about moving the WFCO (WF-9855-AD) converter so it is within a few feet of the new batteries. I'm planning upon using much heavier wires (2 AWG or even 0 AWG) to connect the batteries and converter together using 300A bus bars. I may also install a small inverter (300W) next to the batteries as well. My converter is currently installed on the floor behind the power distribution panel and the battery is fed with only 8 AWG wire (that's about 10 ft long). Its definitely 8 AWG and that is one of the reasons why I'd like to relocate the converter. Now here is my question. Would it be okay to reuse the existing 8 AWG battery cables just to feed DC power back to the panel? The wires are 8 AWG and about 10 ft in length. If I do relocate the converter I'll have to run a 15A 120V AC wire back to the panel.
