Re: [Chrysler300] Battery Cables

[Paul Holmgren <paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone mentioned finding replacement battery cables with #1 guage wire
seemingly performing well for them.

Several years ago I wanted to replace the batt cables in my 'hot-rod' truck,
(hodge podge Dodge)
I wanted to stay with the factory look for the cables,  I had to hunt 
quite a
bit in the aftermarket sources.  The Average cable being sold was at best #4
guage wire.  Number 4 wire will not carry the current a #1 guage wire will.

(well it will but it will smoke shortly after trying to carry that much 
current)

In general #1 wire will work real well for this application, I would 
consider #4
workable but marginal.  But if you use #1, you probably ought to at 
least have
Both Pos and Neg cables the same guage!!!
