Not really any different than AC. resistance because of lower voltages. Different load/wire size due to duty cycle. And never an issue due to wave timing on parallel runs.

The reason it's important to force the power through the battery bank is battery resistance.

There are a few of us industrial electricians on the forum. My information has been charged more by hobbies and side hustles in e boats, and computer controlled machines. Other than that I'm just a retired electrician.
 
I know buss bars are popular, but a simple lug works. I also use a short piece of hose over the bolt to protect the electrical connection from accidentally shorts.
 
Welcome to RVforums from Ely, Iowa I would also consider AGM batteries
 
Its currently hot as hell here in AZ still, so just to get this corrected quickly I'm going to get me 2 new agm batteries and wire the positive loads off the first battery and the negatives off the second battery. And in the fall when it cools down I'll clean it up some more and probably go with the buss bars. Thanks everyone for your knowledge and help.
