What Gauge Wire?
#5
If only there was a formula that could be used to figure out the current draw Big Grin

Using 20 watts and 13.8 v, the current draw is ~1.5 amps (I=P/E), so I=20/13.8

You can vary the voltage to, like, 12v to 14.5. I can’t remember what it is when the bike is running. Current will be less as the voltage rises if power stays constant.

I’d use 8 ga. wire just to be safe. KIDDING, KIDDING. 20 or 22 ga. will be fine. Like Gone says the wires included are usually really small ga.
