upgraded cables? Never heard of upgraded cables. Don't really see why you'd need it if you don't have a high current demand, but I'm kinda curious as to what exactly you get.

You can see the cables in this image, I had the battery and battery box out cleaning and using dielectric silicone on all the behind the box connections...

This is what I was referring to. I'm not an electrician but I'm aware the initial draw can be many times an electric motor's operating demands. I also doubt the MoCo overdid it when sizing the OEM wires.
