I think I talked to much and ran everybody off!!
I did have a chart that showed the wire length in inches and how much ampacity that each could handle using just inches of wire but I couldn't find that one.I think 14 gauge wire is more than enough to handle the amp draw of a mavic. 18 amps is almost 5c for the Mavics battery. (3830 × 5 = 19,150) which is an extreme amp draw for the mavic.
The wires that @sprtbkrydr is using are fine.
P.S. I like that chart!
I've been a Licensed Electrician now going on 35 years.The chart that you showed is very helpful and informative. Every good electrician probably knows that as a rule of thumb, but for people new to electronics, it's really an invaluable chart.

Well it doesn't hurt sometimes.I bet you're a handy guy to have around.
hey what about trying to get the external batteries to draw power at a similar (or faster) rate to the DJI batteries?I've been a Licensed Electrician now going on 35 years.

with that objective, is there a benefit to shorter and wider gauge leads going to the external battery?
it seems like i had better luck with 12awg than 16awg in that respect, but from my limited understanding, it could have been a poor connection on the 16awg... or even a temperature difference?
A different question might be what is the amp draw of a mavic? It really does not matter what the C rating of a lipo is if it's being drawn evenly with other batteries in parallel. If one battery has a C rating of 25 and another has a C rating of 10, if the amp draw is only 8 then both batteries will draw evenly. C Really refers to the rate at which the battery can be charged and discharged.That’s a great question, 10C, 25C, ect...which is a closer discharge rate to the Mavic battery?
If there was a way to average velocity and acceleration, and how rpms marry with amperage consumption. Way over my head.
