That is how I see it as well, thanks HennieL

My pleasure 🙂

... according to the Victron Toolkit app, at 24V and 2.0m total cable length, a 100A current will result in a voltage drop of ~0.7V, which should be acceptable

Just a correction on these figures - I did not take into account that you also had cables that paralleled the four batteries, and if these 200mm lengths of cables are the same 8mm diameter then the total cable length should obviously take that into account... At a total length of 3.2m (2 x (1.0m + 0.2m + 0.2m + 0.2m)) the voltage drop would be ~1.2V, still quite acceptable. Just keep in mind that these figures are for an ambient temperature of 25 degrees C. During summer the resistance would be higher.
