my 50 amp service cable uses 8 gauge wire and is 30 feet long. The 6 gauge wire should handle whatever the converter will put into the batteries, which should only be a high current for a short period of time during the bulk charge part of the charge cycle.

If you were running a high output inverter, then I'd recommend maybe a 2-0 welding cable, but that's a completely different application.
