Hi there

Its time for me to rebuild my Batts into saddle/side by side configuration,
and Im wondering what the spec should be for wire.

Not after brand names, Just after power rating specs.

Thanks for your time

Jason

There is no universal standard; different vehicles and motor
configurations have different sustained current and peak current. And
some vehicles need longer or shorter wires.

Anyway, the vast majority of people find that 12-gauge wire is
excellent for 6-7 cell applications.
