Will 2 gauge wire fit the new Orion XS?

[corn18]

Getting around to running a dedicated cable for my Orion XS. The calculators say I should use 2ga wire to keep the voltage drop below 3%. Will it fit in the Orion XS connectors?

Physically inspect the terminals on the Orion XS to see the maximum wire size they can accommodate. Some connectors may have a maximum limit around 4 AWG, but this can vary.

This may help.

I think I'll do 2 ga to the Andersen connector and then 4 ga to the Orion and the batteries.

How long is it going to take to charge your battery bank with the XS? It doesn't seem like its going to be enough.

The Orion XS by itself would take 16 hours at 50A to fully recharge my batteries. Is that enough? Yes, no maybe. 1600W of solar can add another 100A while traveling.
