i have a bunch of cells here to make up a 7.2v battery pack, and im about to connect the plug.

i bought some wire from Jaycar ages ago, rated at "12amp".

what type of wire should be used for batterys? speed controllers are rated up to 350amp so im assuming that the wire will need to withstand some high amps being drawn, and is my 12amp wire going to hold up or melt on me?
