Differences Between 2ga VS. 4ga. Cables
Looking for an honest assessment of using 2ga. cables vs. 4ga. on my 2000 48V Carryall. I just bought a new set of batteries which I'll be installing this weekend. The old 4ga cables are tired & dirty so I'm getting new ones. Is this the time to switch to 2 ga cables though? I would think they'd impede the movement of the F/R switch. Is that a valid concern? Thanks for any input!

Have you read this thread?

Load carries better, less resistance, less heat build up . . .

Re: Differences Between 2ga VS. 4ga. Cables
Your cart normally uses 6ga so the 4ga is already an improvement. Unless you are running higher than 500 amps 4ga is enough.
I added these to mine http://www.ebay.com/itm/4ga-CLUB-CAR...-/320431981173 Great quality. Don't forget the dielectric grease to prevent/slow down the corrosion |

Re: Differences Between 2ga VS. 4ga. Cables
I checked that auction but it doesn't look like he provides the cables for the F/R switch and the cables to the controller. Are those cables really needed or just the ones that go from the battery pack?
