AWG 20 instead of 18

[db151mod]

Hi guys, if in DNA 60 instead of putting the recommended 18 AWG wire I'm putting 20 AWG, has anyone tried it? Do you notice any drops in performance or heating? What have you noticed over a long period of time? And what problems might I encounter? . A thousand thanks

20 AWG is the minimum so you're OK.

Thinner wires will generate more heat. Heat is lost power. Nothing noticed over time

Hi Wayneo, thanks for your advice, so can I feel comfortable with the 20 GA? , that I won't have power drops? A thousand thanks

Every single item in that battery circuit can affect power drops (however you define that). You keep harping on about the MINIMUM, just use the MAXIMUM size recommended and that will be one less thing to worry about.
