how big of a wire can i fit into the +- terminals?

it can fit 4 guage in the terminals of the x-12 d2 i have 2 cadence 8 guage wires NOT trimmed but twisted together in EACH terminal.. will need awesome wire tho. can really take some heat.

Sorry I don't have it anymore. Put the battery in a portable 12v car jumper and gave it to my son, he'd have to tear it apart to find out. I think they were just averaged sized terminals, around 1/4 of an inch wide if I remember.

It looks like there are FOUR 1/4" or maybe 5/16ths" (or metric eq.) sized bolt on terminals for the positive, and four more for the negative DC side - and I think 3/0 will do close to 200a, and 4/0 will do 250a or so (if your connectors are properly crimped, that is), so with 4 PAIR of DC input cables with very large conductors they may have enough input conductor capacity for over 800 amps, but STILL, that sucker must get good and hot with it running at 10KW continuously (or even close). It weight just under 50 lbs, so it must be larger than it seems in the pictures, too. Either way, 10KW is a BUNCH of watts!

I think it depends on the gauge of wire that you use. the larger the wire the better.

While the terminals appear to have large enough openings to accomodate 14g, you really dont have to go there (unless you are planning on using a few hundred feet of speaker wire). The resistance of, say, 20 ft of 16g Cu wire is only 0.08 ohms, or 100x less than the impedance of an 8 ohm speaker: i.e., absolutely negligible.

The larger terminals are I'd say 1/4 inch like normal battery posts. The control terminals are smaller like 1/8 or less

You will need push on wire connectors installed on your wire... they are flat metal connectors... here is an example from Amazon what you need: http://www.amazon.com/Insulated-Female-Terminal-Connector-Insullated/dp/B00GGTJA78/ref=sr_1_5?s=industrial&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1398623000&sr;=1-5&keywords;=push+connectorAlso, be aware that this disconnects both wires - so you need 4 connectors!

I don't think so the smallest you could do is 16 gauge and that would be a little tight but make sure you purchase the crimpers for those terminals

Length=7/8" Width= 1/2" Conductor pins are manufactured too long for flush mount to socket, so justcarefully nip ends for good fit

If you need to extend the wiring, the simplest solution would be to use 14-16 gauge butt splices. If you order them from Amazon, this is the product link: See-Through Nylon Insulated Butt Connector Solderless Wire Terminal 16-14 Gauge (Blue) - 100 Pack

I don't think it would unless you trimmed the wire at the terminals. It's pretty tight inside.

The terminals extend from the battery with 0.25 tabs but there is a step which goes to 0.187 to accommodate both sizes

Wait I had the wrong package of wires. The wire is about 5 and almost 1/2 inches. inside dimension from nub to nub. 5 7/16" but the wire is twisted back about3/4" on each end where it holds the nub and will be somewhat hard to work with.

The power supply cables are push and lock terminals inside the machine. The maximum recommended welding wire size is .035".

Sorry I don't know how big those are. I don't know if they would fit through the wires or not.

Mine in running two 12g wires to it i wouldn't rec anything larger. Smallest size i have running to it is 22g
