[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8790211, member: 614752"] Don't get hung up on the 8 gauge if you're confident everything is solid and run somewhere safe, but it certainly won't hurt if you have some kicking around. If you put yourself in the situation where you have wonky connection on account of trying to mate 8 gauge with something else you're not doing yourself any favors. I've always carried a fire extinguisher, only time I had to use it was for another bloke who's car was burning on the side of the road. A trucker also tossed us one that we used but I think too little too late and the car went up anyway and I gave the dude a lift home. We just kept backing up figuring it would be some Hollywood explosion, there was a bit of a fireball when the gas tank went up but nothing like the movies. I'm pretty sure the lithium we use in a car (various flavors of LiFePO) doesn't fail dramatically like LiPO but fire extinguisher doesn't cost much and may come in useful. [/QUOTE]
