You subscribe to _Home Power_ magazine, I hope!
Order catalogs from their advertisers and get a liberal education.

Bigger currents! The only large currents in an automotive system
(that I can think of) are from the battery to the starter and from
the generator to the battery. Those are substantial wires, even with
the short runs.
