Clint- This is what Google AI has to say: I can neither confirm or deny the info.
AI Overview
Power Wagons typically use #1 gauge (1 AWG) battery cables for their 6-volt or 12-volt systems, particularly for long runs to the starter. Using this heavy-duty gauge ensures proper voltage, especially for 6-volt systems that may struggle to turn over.
Standard Gauge: 1 Gauge (AWG) is commonly used, especially for remote mounting or for replacing original, long cables.
6-Volt Considerations: For better performance in 6-volt systems, some owners use larger, such as 0 or 00 (2/0) gauge cables, as smaller 4-gauge cables may cause slow cranking.
