I just wrapped up the install on my Midnite classic. fired it up, set the charge limit amperage to 45amps (only 8ga battery wire currently)
I confirmed the wire is 8/2 MC dual THHN/THWN and the amp rating at 90degC is 55amps for typical ambient temp
at any point I hit 40-45amps of charge current, the wires warm up. They are metal clad and the alum shield is warm to the touch. where the wire lug connects to the bus bar, the wire itself is NOT warm. it's only up near the SCC. so, is that just residual heat coming down off the SCC? the midnite itself is warm, fans running.
