Wire Gauge for Disconnect Switch
« on: March 05, 2007, 08:57:16 PM »

Hey All,
Looking for some help on wire gauge.  I put my battery box in the trunk of my '69 dart, it is a street car that will see some strip time.  I'm putting a battery disconnect switch w/alt in the rear bumper, the two main battery feeds are 0 gauge.  What gauge should the smaller lugs have on them? (one goes to the battery & the other to the alternator) ??  I was thinking 6 or 8 gauge.  What are you guys using?  Thanks for the help.

About your disconnect switch in your bumper Huh  I put a push/pull rod on my switch and then I disconnected the rod for street use and put a plug in the hole. That way you can hook it up for Strip use. It would be a Bummer to have some "Smart Ass" run out and Shut you Down at a Stop Light   Madd
