Battery Rigging
Before i get scolded for not using the Search Box within this forum, let me say that i tried that first, but either didnt use the correct key word, or just missed what i was looking at.
So here is my question:
I have a 12volt trolling motor, 2 deep cycle batteries. I want to hook the batteries up in tandom for an equal draw off both batteries (i know how to do that) but my question is, do i match the wire size that is in my boat for the jumpers, or do i need to up the gauge from battery to battery.
It was hard to see, but i think the wire from battery connection to trolling motor plug was 8 awg tinned copper....if that makes sense.....
So should i get a length of 8awg or something a little bigger? The connections to be jumping are about 10" apart max.
