Voltage, otherwise known as electrical potential difference (denoted ∆V and measured in volts) is the difference in electric potential between two points (adapted from Wikipedia). Voltage can be constant (DC) or varying (AC).

12V voltage drop over long wire
One solution is to use an expensive high gauge (7 mm2)cable, to reduce the voltage drop - but that cable is also much more difficult to hide. I can't bury it without tripling the length. … When the voltage drops in the cable, is that also wasted Watt-hours? A few lamps will happily run on fewer volts. I am more worried about losing Wh's.
What other alternatives do I have? …

Two batteries in parallel by a long cable
Will both batteries eventually be fully charged, or will the battery on the long end have a lower voltage/charge due to voltage drop in the cable? … As the difference in voltage between battery A and B is being reduced, the current on the cable should drop - and this will reduce the voltage drop due to resistance in the cable, I am assuming? …
