Hi;

 

I am replacing the 10 x AA batteries on my MonsterBorg Robot with a 14.8v 4S LiPo.

The combined current draw of the motors (stall current) is 9.6Amps Motors What gauge of wire should I use?

Quote from this site: 

“The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger overall diameter.”
