Re: gauge wire ????
In this case, bigger is better. There is no down side of using 2 gauge wire.
In some cases it may be overkill, but it will never hurt. |

Re: gauge wire ????
I second Dave's reply !!!
Go with the 2 ga. now, it will handle just about any future upgrades you may plan. Also, do EVERY power cable in your cart, it is only as good as the worst connection in the pack !!!! Enjoy the addiction ! |

Re: gauge wire ????
Also, if there is a possibility you may go to a 6x8V 48V pack, get a cable set for 8V batteries.
The interconnecting cables within the battery pack have to be longer for 8V batteries since they have both terminals on same side. The longer 8V battery cables will work just fine with 6V batteries and won't have to be replaced when you go to 48V. |
