Default Re: 1996 36v cables getting hot

High current cables getting hot is due to excessive resistance in the cable or connection and any cable that gets more than about 10°F above air temperature needs to be repaired or replaced.

Cable connections on the battery terminals are very susceptible to corrosion and the corrosion wicks into the cable itself, causing additional problems.

All 13 (or 14) high current cables ought to be 4Ga or thicker.
