i use 18 gauge speaker wire and one plug i doubled it up for extra current abilities. These are only used for charging 2s flight packs. I have a 120 VAC setup with a power inverter for charging 4s and 6s packs.

I run all my chargers off of my on board 100amp marine battery. Check out some of my pics close to the last page of the trailer thread. I think its 14g wire, but it runs a banana outlet on the front work bench that's right above the battery and then there is one at the back of the trailer that I use with an extension cord I made to charge planes on the ground outside of the trailer. No problem so far charging 4 li ions at 2.6 amps and a 2 life at 2.1 on 2 planes with 2 hitec chargers, all at the same time. That puts a hurt on the battery, but I just installed a nice solar panel to put juice back in the main battery. We'll see how that works out.
