    Thank You! I've been told to use bigger cables on my 6V systems, now I understand why!

    Wow, this is LONG overdue! So many people don't have a clue about the differences of the 6v and 12v cables! Will post this on the MAFCA website's Videos page.

    Initially, I was thinking, what can you tell me I don’t know. Ha, I hadn’t thought about your discussion and haven’t worked on a 6 volt in 54 years. I did learn something I hadn’t thought about. ❤️

    What if the cable between the battery and starter rubs the frame and shorts out? Without a cut out switch, you can’t quickly turn the power off. What you say about flow and capacity does make sense. Good video!

      Thank you for your comment and agreement that a cut out switch is very important. -Ahna

    Does Magic Dave make any other videos?

    • @ahnaholder

      Not yet. We made this first one as a bit of an experiment and are watching to see how it's received. If you want more, please subscribe to my channel. Thanks!

    ALWAYS put a cutout on the ground side of the battery. This protects everything.

    Hair protection, HA!HA! That one got me.

      It was very hard for me to not start laughing during that scene! -Ahna

    In the event of a starter motor stuck on - will the electrical system kill switch shut off the runaway starter motor, if wired after the starter motor?

    Your concern about the construction of the switch, being a small aluminum connector, is ill-founded since the switch you have chosen is rated at 12V. You should be using a switch rated at 6V if you are installing in a 6V system.
