Battery fitment in Camper van

Novaz

i have been thinking about using the interior wheel arch boxes of my campervan for putting 4 solar batteries in ,
if i seal them in and make them accesable from the outside would it matter that as they are wired in series that the connections from battery #2 to battery #3 were some distance apart ie the width of the van
i know long wire runs should be avoided but it would give me more room in the van if they are not using extra floor space.
Thanks

It would depend on the Voltage, current, wire size, and distance involved.
Lower Voltage = more of a problem.
Higher current = more of a problem.
Smaller wire = more of a problem.
Longer distance = more of a problem.

12 Volt system, 300 Amps current, 4/0 wire, 6' distance = not a problem.

The biggest problem will be balancing the charge.
