Victron 200ah smart battery cable run size

Do cable runs between each of four Victron 200ah smart batteries and a Lynx Distributor #1 (on left side of Lynx BMS) require 4/0 cable? Or would 2/0 be sufficient? I will be using 4/0 cable between the 3000 Multiplus II inverter/charger and the Lynx Distributor #2 on the right side of the Lynx BMS.

Size for current. As we have no idea of loads, we can't answer the question.

You can split the total load by 4 between the batteries.

Best cable for theoretical max.

Maybe AWG 3 or 2 to the lynx.
