I used the stuff Van’s sells. Some people don’t like it because it’s corrugated, but I had zero issues with it and it’s super easy to install

I used the standard Van’s conduit for the RV-10: https://store.vansaircraft.com/5-8-nylon-ducting-50-duct-nt5-8-50.html
On the sides I ran it through the rib lighting holes using this grommet:

No conduit...
As an option to using conduit for the battery cable from FW to rear battery mount, you can install it using snap bushings and per Van's optional electrical drawing for the RV-10, which is OP-37.
Noting that it does provide a minimal electrical system, I find the routing and installation methods very helpful.

Whoops. I missed the battery cable part. I didn’t use conduit for the battery cable either. Just snap bushings where required,
I was wondering why the ducting was always listed as “on back order”. I asked today when ordering something else and apparently it’s because they cut it to size as ordered. So, it’s not a multi-month wait or anything to order from Van’s (at least theoretically, as of this writing, etc
)There’s also a wiring kit you can get which includes the #2 wire for the battery. https://store.vansaircraft.com/basic-rv-wiring-kit-es-ewc-kit.html
