The amperage ratings used for this chart are cold cranking amps for Antigravity small case batteries 4, 8 and 12 cell. NOTES: 1) Calculated maximum length and amperage for for motorcycle wiring while maintaining a 2% or less voltage drop at 12 volts 2) These lengths represent a single + wire with the ground assumed to be the frame chassis. If a ground wire is lused the lengths of both + and - wires should be calculated together. 3) there are many factors to consider when calculating maximum allowable current, such as momentary or Jconstant operation, and environmental temperatures. This is a general guide sufficient for most practical motorcycle applications. If you have concerns you can in most instances increase in wire size without issue. If you have doubts, please consult a professional mechanic. 14) The user of this guide accepts all ity and risk involved.
