crenwelge 'Bolter C Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,962 Fredericksburg, Texas	I would disagree with whoever wrote the article about battery cables. Has anyone looked at wire gauge charts to see how thin 4 gauge is. I just got through measuring a NOS Delco battery cable. It measures .325 which is 1/0 gauge. Any engine that spins on 6 volts with a 4 gauge cable must have very little compression.
