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.

FYI, moving my charger closer to the batteries is not an option.
Thanks in advance!
