Or 20A, as stated on the bag -- I think the figure depends on which agency basis is used.

Also the WAGO lever nuts are only sized for 12 AWG and smaller wire -- not really big enough for the 10 AWG many teams (like mine) prefer for drivetrain circuits. We will probably stick with 45A APP connectors for the drivetrain.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
