Hi Paul

Looking forward to seeing the development of the T compound.

Question:

I have a 1300mm 4.3 foot run from my PC680 battery to the Renesis
using an older model starter. Could I get away with 4GA cable or do I
need 2GA?

Thanks

Steve Izett

Go with the 4 Ga. Check the voltage on the starter when the engine is turning over.
If it is a least 10 volts and the engine starts your OK.  Starters draw 300 amps or so.
3 to 5 HP.

Going to larger cable will just increase the voltage on the starter by a  couple of tenths of a volt or so.
