Iâve always wondered about this as well, because looking at ampacity charts, AWG10 would be more suitable for 60A, and AWG7 for 90A. Weird that these connectors donât allow the proper wire thickness to fitâŚ

Thatâs probably for low strand count not UL3135 wire.
What Iâve posted above is correct for what we know as silicone hobby wire

@Bindings_McGee little question as you are here. What is the reason all our wires are not copper?
Why are electric appliances like 240V electrical cables use coper wire? Sorry for the dumb question, still learning : )
I just realized weâre not in the battery builders thread. Maybe one of the mods can move stuff over, to declutter Jeffâs thread?

They are copper? They look silver because itâs tinned OFC.
Unless youâre buying shit wire. Then itâs CCA (copper clad aluminum) that looks the same but corrodes in the lightest elements and doesnât have same specs. Big issue with car audio dipshits using it because they think theyâre the one person who was able to find cheap good wire lmao

Oh no i meant like wire used to feed electricity in your house for example. The stuff you get in hardware stores that you buy per/meter
So the original question was what is the difference between our silicon aluminium wire vs copper
The strands are thick, so itâs not flexible, and doesnât solder well. In household circuits you use screws to keep it in place, since the current is small, but voltage high.

Our Silicone isnât aluminum. Itâs tinned copper.
It would be very bad if you were using aluminum wire.

Ah yes of course i forgot 
yes dominos 
Thx @rusins
Ah i did not know. So they are very fine strands of tinned copper.
How to factories tin such ong length of wires?
Cheers

Super easy!
Didnât know that existed lol. so you fill it up with solder and then dip your wire in it? what about the flux in the wire, doesnât that evaporate?
I use a flux grease and it seems to evaporate indeed.
Wire tinning with liquid flux looks like a nicer job, perhaps I should buy a flux tube
