Thewes Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 1 more question just to make sure, is that 60' per battery? so i would need 120' total of 0 guage wiring for 2 batteries? I just took out both of my 0 gauge runs from my Escalade. I would measure them but you might have to wait till tomorrow. Remember you have to fuse twice, so about 12 inches from fuses blocks alone.
