Cable upgrade
Quick question gurus. While doing some maintenance on my old DS, 1981, like replacing solenoids, cleaning connections and such, I had to replace a couple cables. I replaced all the battery cables with 2ga cuz that's what I had. Should I need to replace all 4 going to the motor with 2ga as well? Is there much of an advantage in doing so? Thanks.

The 2ga cables are stouter and will probably last longer before needing to be replaced again. Our 2003 had 2ga cables on it when we got it. |

Re: Cable upgrade
How about with an upgraded controller? You’d even put the 2g on the field posts?

On our 2003 IQ sepex cart I moved the OEM armature cables to the field side. I've read I don't really need to because a sepex system field circuit is not using high current like a series system does. |

Re: Cable upgrade
Thanks for the info. I also have a sepex system and thought that most of the high current draw is directed at the armature and not the field. I’m still trying to figure these motors out so my working knowledge of them is limited.
