System Design:  Wiring Considerations
•Direct Current Connections
–Do not use SAE Boat Cable
•On average; approximately 12% less cross-sectional area for the same wire gage
•Use properly sized, tinned, closed end lugs
•Crimp lugs using a box crimping tool
–Do not us hammer blow type crimpers
•Use heavy duty heat shrink on lugs
–
Use three to one heavy wall heat shrink
