Hi all!

Thinking of adding one extra + cable from the battery to the starter, just for extra juice. And I just bought this cable :

DLS, Power Line LC-OFC Copper Tinned AWG 7 = 10 SQMM

Will that be enoght to handle the juice when cranking ? or do i need a thicker cable ? Also, would this cable be good using as an extra ground to the block ?

been searching around but not found any good thread mentioning wire thickness.

So Will it work well or will it melt ?

 

Have you measured a voltage drop of a half volt or more across the wire you want to jump?
Did you make sure your connections are clean and tite?
Are you running high compression?
If the answer to all three is yes you will benefit from a heavier wire in that location.
But 7-AWG isn’t enuff.
Replace the wire there with one two sizes heavier.
So if you have 2-AWG there now replace it with 0-AWG
