Default Re: Does Gauge of Ground Wire Matter

Do ground wires carry current or is just the Negative wire from the battery to the starter the important one?

If the answer is the ground wires need to be 6 volt, do they make a 6 volt disconnect versus a 12 volt disconnect?
Put the disconnect in the ground cable like you planned , That disconnects everything !
