Hey DM

When you've installed this badboy, can you post up a couple of pics and the wire you eventually used?

Cheers
Luke

Sorry to drag this up again but I'm getting a bit lost in amps and cca!

I've bagged a pair of 4 cell a123 battery packs, I'm wanting to connect it up with an Anderson connector, I've put new cable in from the earth and starter solenoid to the bike side of the Anderson, and then soldered some new battery lead onto the cells to the battery side of the Anderson, but I've used 16mm2 wire and a 175amp Anderson plug and it's all a bit bulky, thinking I've over speced it a tad!!

DM what did you end up using can I get away with a 50amp plug? I've got the second battery to do and wanna eT that one right!

I just went to a local electrical suppliers in the end, showed them the battery and asked for some wire to suit, to be honest I think it was a bit big but it worked.

Right well that looks the same size as my Anderson and thats designed for 16mm2 cable, so maybe I've done right, thanks dm
