I goofed at the bottom, cut it off short. But I don't think we will go over 150 amps anyway Amps. = Watts divided by volts Example: 300 watts divided by 12 volts = 25 amps.

Man, I went way overboard. I have 3 individual 10g wires going to my 3 sets of Hella 75s on the roof. Total of 600 watts of lights (i replaced the 55w bulbs with 100s) / 13.5v (what I am usually running at) and you get 44amps. I single 10 gauge would have worked, not 3, bah! |
