Re: Battery cables 4-0 seems like overkill
With all the background noise and static in this thread, has anyone bothered mentioning the price difference between 2/0 and 4/0 cable? It’s about $2 a foot… $8 vs $10. I used under 20’ per engine on my 53… I didn’t even bother looking up wiring charts. $40 per engine is a no brained.

Re: Battery cables 4-0 seems like overkill
This is certainly the feistiest thread about battery cables I've ever seen on a forum.
