๐ Battery Wiring Gauge Selector (AWG Calculator)
Choosing the correct wire gauge is critical for safe and efficient
battery builds. The Battery Wiring Gauge Selector
helps you determine the correct AWG size based on
current, cable length, voltage drop, and temperature โ preventing
overheating, performance loss, and wiring failures.
โ๏ธ What This Tool Calculates
This AWG calculator recommends the correct wire thickness for battery
connections based on electrical and environmental parameters.
- Recommended wire gauge (AWG)
- Safe current handling
- Voltage drop compliance
- Thermal safety margin
๐ How to Use the AWG Calculator
- Enter current (A) โ maximum current your battery or motor draws.
- Set cable length (m) โ total round-trip length from battery to load.
- Choose allowed voltage drop (%) โ typically 3โ5% for most systems.
- Enter ambient temperature (ยฐC) โ affects wire resistance and heat.
- View the recommended AWG instantly.
๐ฅ Why Wire Gauge Matters
- Prevents overheating and fire risk
- Reduces voltage loss and power waste
- Improves motor performance and efficiency
- Extends battery and connector lifespan
- Avoids unnecessary weight and cost
๐ฅ Who Should Use This Tool
- DIY e-bike and e-scooter builders
- Battery pack designers
- Repair technicians
- Electrical hobbyists and engineers
The Battery Wiring Gauge Selector removes guesswork from
wiring decisions and helps you build safer, cleaner, and more reliable
electric mobility systems.
