[QUOTE="longjohn119, post: 139966, member: 2826"] The wire size used is also dependent on length of the run, if you had to go a significantly further distance from the motor to the battery then you need to go up a wire size. Heat in a wire is a sign of loss and resistance. To compound the issue the more it heats up the more loss and resistance and current drawn from the battery which can also damage it. [/QUOTE]
