Re: 6 gauge wire for battery

Priscilla,
It is hard to judge the integrity of this cable without actual specifications. While it appears to be OK, it may actually be something less than ideal. It appears from what this person has in the online store is speaker products. As such, it may be listed as #6 as that is the closest size but may be actually smaller diameter. The cable does not say "#6" on it and the website for Installbay does not give any specifications. I personally would spend the extra money to get a known AWG sized cable. Remember that all your robot power runs through that primary wiring. You want it to be the best you can afford.
