how many amps can it handle? also, will I be better off using shorter 0 gauge wires, or longer 0 gauge wires

it wouldn't start my Fridge,,the Surge time is too low..so am not using it..if that is a requirement for your system.,,this is NOT the convertor for you. look for one with a long surge time.,at least 5/7 seconds..this piece of crap is 1second...total waste of money. the guy with the video praising this, must have a hugh battery bank..to off set this problem.

in reality it will hold 24amp output. DC current loses about 1amp per 10 foot. Watts/Volts=Amps The closer and heavier the wire is the best train of thought not saving money and buying lighter gauge.......

I sent it back it was to big for what I needed. It was useing to much power all the time it was on. If you have a need for that much power it might be OK but you will need a big battery bank or turn it on only when you are going to use it. I hope this helps

I used longer wires. Power supplied was good. Set-up on an '09 Peterbilt. Turn off when not in use.

Ok here you go it uses 10.5 amps you can use a 12 amp fuse if you can get it or 15 amp fuse ( check you wire size)

Should work fine - I would suggest using minimum 18ga wire, especially if it's a long run. The combined current draw would be approx 4.5A which a lighter plug should easily handle.

Its more the amps that would be the concern. It says it handles 20amps @ 120vac, so I would think as along as you stay under the 20amps you should be alright.

10 gauge would be good and is more than sufficient to hanlde the current draw of this amplifier. 10 gague is also what the manufacturer recomends for this amplifier.

A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

I used the tree wire but make sure you use the supplied wire in addition to the stock one to help the amps get to your batteries also double check your grounding size wire to make sure it can handle 140amps

The maximum these plugs accept is 8AWG, but they suggest 10AWG. I used 12AWG because that was the wire already in the house. It worked great and I am sure smaller wire would work fine. The connection mechanism is capable of squeezing any wire larger than the "teeth" very securely.

According to the AWG chart, 2 guage wire is good for up to 181 amps. Here's the link to the chart. For your specific application you should consult an electrician. http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

It's a multi strand 16 gauge. If u make ur own, it could be anything close. It's only routing 3v dc or less.

12 gauge is only good for 20A 10 gauge is only rated for 30A. So you need much bigger wire

Twelve AWG (Gauge) wire is rated at 20 amps. But there is length limits. The 100 feet plus whatever is in your house from the breaker box to the outlet that it's plugged into starts to get kind of long. Why risk it. Don't load it with more than 15 amps. Make sure the wire going to the outlet your plugging it into is also 12 AWG. If I may also add, if you are going to run an electric snow blower with this I would buy it soon. It's 12/7 and it could snow soon.

I looked at several sites that discussed this. A 14 gauge 100 ft. cord can handle 13 amps. You may wish to go to a 12 gauge cord just to be on the safe side.

Yes, it should work fine. It can handle up to 1.5 amp and even considering influx current, it would be well below 1.5 Amp.

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

I had no probs with this one. It can handle 1500wts since it is 1.5 farads. It is handling my 1500 amp. Make sure you use high guage ground cable and bolt it down to metal or it will fry unlike most users who do forget that part(8guage at least).

Hi Sheena: Jeffrey beat me to it. The only caution you want to take is to not treat this a 4 ports each capable of 15 Amps.With best regards
