Hi Andrew,
I think the issue is that you need more copper on the longer run, to
account for voltage drop loss.
I just had a similar problem. The batteries were laid out with the
positive cable 2.5' from breakers and the negative about 15'.
I ran 2x 4/0 for the (+) and 3 x 4/0 for the (-), works fine.
Of course how much copper you need to run depends on just how big the
inverters/loads are.
