bobdylan_55 Seasoned Pro Location: derby Registered: 28 Mar 2009 Posts: 1,466 Status: Offline	Post #1 Hi, i was reading the guide on battery relocation and people were saying 25mm^2 wire should be used minimum etc. However ive done some calcs, and based upon the gti6 starter being 1.1kW then a rough figure of 95amps can be found. So surely 16mm^2 110amp wire would be plenty good enough? cheers ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T
