I guess what you are asking about is the inrush current when the starter is
activated. I think that would be in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 amps, but
that is instantaneous and quickly falls back to the 50 - 60 amp range for
cranking. Any moderately sized battery cable will be adequate for this use,
but, because of the length, the larger the better. I'm running some 2 AWG
multi-strand copper that was left over from a radiology installation. No
problem with voltage drop, but it's so flexible it takes additional p-clips to
hold it in place.Bill Lawrence> From: WLLDBL@aol.com> Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008
