Battery Cables

MnGolfer · 09-02-2017, 09:23 AM

I just bought new 8v batteries for my 48v CC. I want to put 2 ga cables on right away. Looking at what's there now, it looks like all are 4ga except for the one going thru the OBC, that one looks like it might be 6ga (no markings on cable, but is smaller).
If I replace all but that one, am I wasting my $$ as far as getting more power?

Thanks

The amperage delivery is limited by the greatest restriction... which in this case is the 6g going through the OBC. Get a Brass OBC stud kit and finish the 2g cable set

Or if you are making your own, you can still run a 2 awg cable through it and crimp the lug after you have it through. It is tight but will work just take your time in doing so.
