WIRE SIZES - ADVICE NEEDED BY A NON ELECTRICAL, NON EXPERT, NON GURU PLEASE

(1/3) > >>

Nurse Julie:
Hi Chaps.
I need to make up battery leads for my CB550 custom project. I'm looking in the Vehicle Wiring Products catalogue and I'm not sure what amp cable I need and I'm not sure, for example, what 25mm2 means. I can understand the OD measurement of the cable.
I have also been looking at the battery / starter ring terminals but also again, I'm not sure what I need. Can anyone advise me please.
Ta in advance
Julie

Nurse Julie:
I think I'm gonna need more Red wine to get my head around that lot Ash !!. To be honest, I'm still none the wiser as to what amp cable I need  ??? ???

mike the bike:
Best take an old cable to a car spares place and ask for a "foot of that and the crimps to go with it"

Nurse Julie:
Thanks Ash. Now I am totally confused though as you say that 25mm2 is about 100 amps but in my wiring catalogue it says 25mm2 is 170 amps. I think Trigger has a crimping tool, it's called a vice 😊 😊
Soldering won't be a problem as he's good at that. But, until I can get my head around what I need in the way if cable, I'm totally stuck.

Nurse Julie:
Yep, agree totally Ash. If I were to get all technical about the electrical system of the human body, I doubt anyone on here would understand what I'm talking about but, to me it's extremely simple and i  understand it fully. Therefore I have changed the title of the thread.
