Depends on whats amps you're running, sum are more efficient than others... But what you listed sounds pretty good.

Yeah that should be fine.. 5 batts total.. 2 alts.. multiple 0/1.. should be good. Might wanna do big 3 in 0/1 but you should be okay.

It's 1/0 BTW. AKA 0 gauge. It is set up as 1/0 because there are multiple 0 gauges such as 4/0, 3/0, 2/0 and 1/0, 0000, 000, 00, and 0 respectively.

Lol, 0/1. Not the first time I've seen it though.

There are such things formatted like 12/3, meaning there are 3 runs of 12 in the set. I have seen 0000/3, which is common for service entrance for house wiring.

Though, it is uncommon for a 1 run labeling. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
