Common battery packs (a 25A peak from 5P?) uses 0.15mm thickness for 5A per an 8A-rated cell. A 0.20mm thick nickel ribbon is common for the popular 10A rated “high-capacity” cells, like the LG MJ1, Samsung 35E, and the Panasonic GA. Currently, the builders’ dilemma happens when using a high-amp cell (15A-30A).
Choosing the right battery cables is key. You need to know the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. It measures wire thickness from 0000 (thickest) to 40 (thinnest). This knowledge helps pick the right wire size for your needs. The AWG system uses numbers to show wire thickness. Lower numbers mean thicker wires that carry more ampere capacity.
We recommend 1 gauge wire for large 6-cylinder or small V8 automotive engines, hi-power accessories (like winches, power converters), and high output aftermarket alternators in the 200A range. 1/0 makes a great battery cable for large or hi-performance 6-cylinder engines and stock V8s.
Copper is used for building battery packs because it is both highly electrically conductive and highly thermally conductive. Copper is an effective means of both transferring power from one cell group to another and wicking away heat generated within the core of the cells. Copper has around 5 times less resistance than nickel.
The battery cable size chart helps you pick the right wire gauge. It considers your needs like current flow, circuit type, and cable length. The chart lists American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG. It shows cable lengths and amperage ratings. Knowing this helps keep voltage drop under 2% at 12 volts, ensuring top performance.
This is done by adding a sheet of structural material, usually plastic or fish paper, to the top and the bottom of the pack. If the battery is to be put into another structure, either a plastic case, or the system box, it is still important to tie it together with heat shrink or tape for ease of handling.
