RE: Battery Relocation Question

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ron Francis wiring required #2 wire for the cable. #1 is better of 
course. My cables are about 50" each since my battery is in the stock 
location. If mine was in the trunk George's #1 would be better to help 
with volyage drop for the extra distance. Actually welding cable is a 
high strand which means there are more smaller indiviual strands. This 
improves current flow characteristics. My take is that I already had 
some brand new welding cable. I do believe the insulation is better for 
heat with the other cable but with extra protection the welding cable 
should be fine.

----
Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
