AWG Size vs Max Amps (Safe Guideline)

AWG Size Max Continuous Current (up to 1m length) Suitable for Short Lengths (like 300mm)
10 AWG 30A 50A
8 AWG 40A 70A
6 AWG 65A 100A
4 AWG 85A 140A
2 AWG 115A 180A
1/0 AWG 150A 250A
2/0 AWG 175A 300A

Notes:

  • "Max Continuous Current" = current you can run without overheating the cable.

  • "Short Lengths" means very short cables (like battery jumpers, or between battery and fuse) where heat can't build up much.

  • Always fuse according to the cable capacity, not just the device.

Example for a 12V 100Ah LiFePO₄ Battery:

  • 6 AWG Cable (300mm) = ✅ good for continuous loads up to 80A.

  • 4 AWG Cable (300mm) = ✅ good for continuous loads up to 120A.

  • 2 AWG Cable (300mm) = ✅ good for continuous loads up to 180A.

Turtle Tip: Always size your cable with a 20% safety margin. If you expect 80A, plan for 100A cable capacity.

If you have any questions about choosing the right cable for your setup, ask Turtle Direct

Is this cable suitable to be used togther with your LFP 12V 100A battery.

What about the Turtle 12V 100Ah battery?

  • 100Ah means the battery can deliver 100 amps for one hour — but this depends on the load.

  • This LiFePO₄ batteries can deliver even higher bursts, like 200A for a few seconds (for example when starting a motor).

Example:

  • This battery allows 100A continuous and 200A peak for 10 seconds,
    then your cable would be okay for continuous, but only just acceptable for peaks.

Limits for 6AWG (simple):

  • Continuous safe current: around 65–75A (officially).

  • Short-term / peak current: up to 120A (30 seconds or less).

Conclusion:

✅ A 6AWG 300mm cable is safe for normal continuous use around 60–80A.
✅ It is okay for a 12V 100Ah battery if your system usually draws under 80A continuously.
✅ Short peaks up to 100–120A are fine because the cable is very short.
