[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5838972, member: 601690"] Sorry, resistance is the word I should have used. But I still maintain that measuring resistance without current draw is pointless IMO. I don't think anyone here would argue that welded steel is a better conductor than copper wire. So I still stand by my reasoning, even if my terminology is off a little. You are right that you could use smaller wire if properly fused, but you would certainly have a voltage drop due to the smaller wire. If you have the need for a dual battery setup, you obviously are pulling a lot of power. 1/0 awg wire is probably going to be necessary anyways. As far as batteries transferring hundreds of amps of current, you are right, two batteries alone would never pass that much, but larger banks might. Yeah and many people have sex without a condom and never get AIDS.... But then again, millions of others have AIDS [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] Roll the dice if you want, I am simply pointing out the right way to do it.
