How long can the battery cable be coming off the Power Distribution Board?:confused:
There is no specified limit, but keep in mind that a longer cable will limit the current flow as a consequence of Ohm's law.
From the PDB to the Anderson connector, there is no explicit limit. From the Anderson connector to the battery, 12" is the limit per [R03].
However, bear in mind that the main breaker needs to be accounted for (red wire--see [R39]; also note that it needs to be accessible), and that more length of wire results in more weight and more resistance.
