How to Size Battery Cables?

Question:

Jeff,
Should I size the battery cables by the battery capacity or by the expected load (+something)? Thanks for the videos!

Answer:

Hi Bogdan,

When sizing battery cables you do so by sizing anticipated loads. For instance, you might have a 2000 watt inverter at 12 VDC that requires 2/0 wiring.
