What Gauge Should Car Jumper Cables Be?
1 Answers
Small cars require 16-gauge copper wires, trucks need 25-gauge copper wires, and heavy-duty trucks require 35-gauge copper wires. Here are the relevant details: 1. Jump-starting a car battery is not difficult, but be careful not to reverse the positive and negative terminals or create a short circuit. Remember to connect positive to positive and negative to negative. This is the correct connection method for charging a dead battery. 2. Using jumper cables will not cause any issues for the car, as the vehicle voltage is only 12V, and it also poses no harm to humans. It is important to note that during the instant the vehicle starts, avoid any contact with the jumper cables.
