So, I have been buying silicone insulated wire on Amazon for my battery builds. I'm wondering about the ampacity of these generic Amazon wires. I see there are 2 grades. For 10 awg that would be grade 1 at 49 amps, and grade 2 at 61 amps.
My question is how do you know what grade these wires are, or if they actually have the copper in them to carry the load they might be listed for. I'd be happy with the 10 awg silicone wire that I bought if it's truly rated for 49a (grade 1).
