1/0 AND 2/0 wire?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I got 1/0 wire under the hood and for the amps in the trunk. Is it chill to run a 2/0 wire from the front battery to the back battery? All other wires will be 1/0. Just the wire connecting the front and back batteries will be 2/0. Is this ok?

As long as you fuse to the rating of the wire, it won't cause a problem

thats what i was thinkin. but probably 2 runs of 1/0 will be smarter n cost effective. thank you. ill just go with 2 runs

I'm going with 4 runs of 1/0 over 3 runs of 2/0. Both equal to about 1200 amps of current, but the 4 runs of 1/0 turned out to be less expensive than the footage of 2/0 needed for 3 runs. So yeah, there's that
