February 19th, 2019 10:45 PM #11Nothing will melt or burn because you did not specify the amount of load. But normal car load would not even reach 100A in total so even a 100A cable should do just fine.
You should also consider the resistance of the cable and the amount of load, apply Ohms and Kirchhoff's law to sum up to voltage drop.

February 19th, 2019 11:23 PM #16Yes, but install fuse in between and disconnect solenoid for your safety. If what you are planning is a dual-bat setup for an RV, there is a kit for that including a regulator. Distance will also matter, the longer the distance the larger the wire gauge usually 6-8ga stranded-wire will do on a car.

February 19th, 2019 11:56 PM #20This is what I have, the KYK packaging says 500A battery jumpstart cable. The cable gauge looks like AWG 6(~14mm2), makapal lang balat so it looks thick. Good enough for quick jumpstarts.
Below is a comparison of a 50mm2 and 22mm2 stranded cable.
