db151mod Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayneo Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 20 AWG is the minimum so you're OK. Thinner wires will generate more heat. Heat is lost power. Nothing noticed over time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
