Battery power wire and connector question. - 03.18.2006, 05:43 PM

Has anyone thought to use 10 guage or 11 guage (less common) wire on their batteries? Car amplifier power wire is flexible (although not as much as noodle wire) and would have less losses so length wouldn't be as much of a concern.

Also, is there a better and small connector that will handle higher currents than Deans? I know you can use single bullet connectors, but I was looking for something that will handle ~100A currents without as much losses and be "keyed" like Deans.

EDIT:

Actually, after digging around a little, I found this: http://www.andersonpower.com/products/pp/pp.html If power transfer is more important than size, then this might be a much better connection. They can even be tied together to provide safety keying! But they are so BIG!
