its welding cable that I used to relocate my battery, its says 25mm2 lol

I need a fused connector block but I dont know what AWG it is?

like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-25mm2-Weld...ultDomain_3&hash=item45efc84901#ht_2176wt_907

I think the wire (not including insulation is 7mm across)

Nearest is 3awg (26mm2). Should be fine for battery relocation if thats what your thinking?

 

[Dink]

as a rule of thumb 25mm2 is 4 awg and shouldn't be fused much above 100A so might not work to relocate your battery

i still dont like the way they use awg in this country for car audio

Its a shite americanism.

The cable is already there, it's been used to relocate the battery for a while but I never got round to fusing it ha

Ghetto.

What should I be fusing it at? 80amp? It's on a dry cell odyssey race battery

 

[Dink]

i had some tri-rated 25mm2 fused at 120A in my car but that was it's limit

100A is fine tbh but if it pops when you start the car you really should up-rate the cable

Whats the CCA of the battery? Personally I'd get some 0/1AWG and be done with it.
