Deans battery bars

Post by joel45acp »

Just wondering if you gents are using battery bars or something else to build saddle packs. Thanks
In Christ,

They won't heat up during use?

I used braid, I thought it was better than battery bars and thinner.

My theory was (taught in school) electrons flow on the outside of wire, and braid being made up of strands it must have been better than a solid bar.
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

we upcycled brass staples off corrugated cardboard boxes! :P

SubCs won't ever pump enough current to tax those brass strips.
