What size wire and fuse do I need to use when installing the Solar Stik™?

The Solar Stik™ produces about 8 amps when it is operating, and therefore we recommend that it should be wired to the battery bank as a 10 amp circuit with a 15 amp in-line fuse. Consult a “wire-sizing” gauge to determine the proper wire size that corresponds to the wire harness length between the Solar Stik™ and the batteries (including the location of the charge control).
