The wire size for most things is based on the size of the fuse. If your fuses are 15A, use AWG 14 wire. Standard colors are red (+12v) and black (-12v), or, Black (+12v) and white (-12v). Mine uses the black and white.
The wire between the battery and the converter may need to be changed for a larger size. The Magnetek would only charge at about 5-6 amps. the PD 4645 is capable of charging at 45 amps. If the wire between them is long, 15' or so, you might consider replacing the old #6 or #8, with #4 to allow more of the 14.4v in boost mode to get to the battery.
Thank you very much for all the info - this forum is great!
Should I use stranded or solid wire?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't get the larger, 55?Amp?PD4655V since I am running all new wiring anyways?
And any specific power outlets and switches, or just standard household components from Home Depot?
Thanks!
