I'm looking at new battery cables.
Can anyone tell me the difference between "2 AWG" and 2/0 AWG"
Many thanks!

This is slightly misleading as the length of the wire must also be considered and the % voltage drop acceptable. For a 3% drop where the load is 20 feet from the battery and you are drawing 100 amps then you would need 2/0. 2 AWG would be OK for 10 feet.2/0 AWG will handle around 190 amps, whereas 2 AWG will handle around 94 amps.
