For gas powered carts, the cable only needs to be large enough to operate the starter motor, this time only lasts for a few seconds. So the answer is no, the cable size originally installed is large enough. For those of us who have more battery-powered carts, the answer is a bit more complicated. Our short answer is yes or no, depending on our expectations for the shopping cart, or whether the motor or controller has been modified.
If the cart is absolutely skeleton [and all originals are not upgraded] and is primarily used for the original purpose around the local course, the standard 6 AWG [also known as 6 gauge or #6] cable is very fine. The wire [cable] size is measured by a standard known as the American Wire Gauge or AWG and relates to the diameter or cross-sectional area of the copper conductor itself. The smaller the AWG number, the larger the diameter, and therefore the greater the current carrying capacity. For example, a 2 AWG cable is...
