Subject:      Wire Gauge Question? battery questions too!
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hi all Ive pulled my Fridge and installed a back wall with 2 shelves to take its place. Im adding a wizard RV power / Charging source as well.

My quesiton is what is the 1.5 in the Bentley for wire size compared to standard gauge wire?

Reason I ask is Ive wired in some lighting and some extra outlets and I want to know if I can use the wires that supplied the Fridge to charge the battery. The lugs on the side of the wizard power supply say 2 to 14 Gauge but that is just what size wire will fit in it. If the 1.5 if beefy enough I will just plug into that and back feed the battery. If not beefy enough what is the easiest / Cleanest way to run a set of wires to the battery. Either to the battery or tap into something under the chassis if it is easier. Up for Easy and Clean looking. Dont like to cut up the body that much.

Speaking of Batteries My battery is nearing its life expectancy. Is there a battery that would give me the power and life that I want it to. Dry cell maybe? or other?

Thanks Jonce
