You can't get it upgraded because the batterys are too small but, I use 14 awg wire with female deans.

No, you CAN get it upgraded. The battery is a 2/3A cell.

some people say its awaste on such small cells, but i rather have the flow of power.
, but that's overkill.

RE: CheapBatteryPacks
Yes wire size does matter!
I would use 14ga and it should be fine for the 1400. 12ga is will work just as well but may be a little unwieldy to work with. It has a higher current capacity but not necessary for your application.
I'll try to find my wire charts and post current capacities for various size wire.

RE: CheapBatteryPacks
Sounds good Neb- too bad they charge so much for the "upgrade" but the prices are pretty good for the batts so yeah I'd go for the upgrade.
It never hurts to have as much conductor as feasible available in this instance.
Hmmmm... I think I'll just have to order some batteries myself!!
