I'm not clear on the different gauges of battery cable. Can anyone offer some help on what the actual gauges mean?
I'm thinking that 4 gauge is 1/4" of wire surrounded by insulation that makes the overall cable thicker than 1/4"
Is 1 gauge cable a 1" thick wire surrounded by thicker insulation?
And what would 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 break down to size-wise?
Thank for the help!
