Thin cable causes slow charging with G7200

I really don't understand why they skimp on the cable. I use it to plug my wall charger into my car for a quick connection, but I've found that the charger can't send enough power through the cable and my G7200 keeps restarting and takes a very long time to fully charge. I was able to monitor the current with my Klien Tools ammeter and it showed that the battery was only being charged at 5 amps instead of 7 amps! The solution was to use OFC 14awg speaker wire to extend the cable instead of cheap Noco thin wire. After crimping the connectors with the correct size wires, I have no problem fully charging the battery and the G7200 no longer restarts or charges more slowly.

Pros
  • Switch to starter
Cons
  • I won't say anything
