thats a sure sign that something is wrong with your battery cable, which would explain everything.
There is no way the 6 gauge wire in the battery cable should be getting hot. The breakers would kick off long before you could draw enough current through the cable to heat it up.
I think you will find that either the cable is not securely attached to the connector, or the crimp terminal at one end is loose. Its also possible the cable has been damaged and there are only a few strands connected at some point. If so you should see visable damage to the cable.
We always soldered the terminals on the end of the battery cable, you need the right equipment to solder them on, but it makes the connection bulletproof.
