Which amp cable between charger and leisure battery

Post by timski »

Hi guys,

I have a transformer/battery charger like this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caravan-Motor ... 4ab245f154

which charges the leisure battery when attached to hookup.

I am getting it moved further away from the leisure battery so need to buy some more cable. Does anyone know what type/amp cable runs between the transformer and the leisure battery and where is a good place to source it cheaply?

Thanks,
Tim.

You could probably get away with 44/0.30, 3.0mm2, 27.5A - cable OD 3.7mm as long as the run isn't too long otherwise choose the next size up.
Don't forget a 25amp fuse and holder close to the charger.
