Hi,

I need to make my own series connector using deans plugs. I just wanted to know what gauge wire to use? I have looked at my current batteries and pictures of deans products and they say 12 or 14 GA. The problem is my local electronics stores only sell 2,4 and 8 GA wire? 2 and 4 is probably way too thick and 8 GA does not seem to have a high enough amp rating (56 amps current capacity). Keep in mind I am planning to run EVO 25 2500 lipos so continuous current is 62 amps. Any thoughts.

Never mind, there is a difference between AWG and GA wires. AWG is the american wire gauge standard and we dont use that here in Oz.I think.

I am going to find the wire or just buy an already built series connector.I did have one but I lost it.
Damn!!
