Just becareful of extension cords...
some have a very thin wire(small awg)
I have seen 100 ft extension cords labled as heavy duty rated for
15 amps and the wire is only 18AWG...
even on AC there is voltage loss and heat generated.

(yes, I know, you will not use the extension cord for the DC supply...)
