Hi,
I posted a thread a while ago about moving the leisure battery.
Some of the cables have shorted and melted under the drivers seat in the battery box and I'd like to replace them with the correct rated cables (amps).
1. Can anyone tell me the ampage of red/yellow going back under the sink to (I think) the split charger?
2. Can anyone tell me the ampage of red/ black from the relay back under the sink to (again I think) the split charger.
Many thanks......just want to get it right so I don't have a problem with the family on board.

Originally wired with 2.5mm cable, which is around 25 amp. I`d go with bigger if you`re renewing it all. 50 amp is what I`d be using, help with any voltage drop, also it`s possible that quite large current could be going to the LB (if it`s very flat) from the main battery when the split-charge relay kicks in, so make sure the relay is alos up to the job, 70 amp for good measure. Original charger (BBB) isn`t particularly high output.
