[QUOTE="silentbravo, post: 483338, member: 29669"] If all wire is sized correctly and no other issues the wire will probably still get warm with max load on it, but you should be able to hold the wire for a little bit at least before it's uncomfortable to grasp. If you have a multimeter, you can do a quick check and see how much resistance is from one end of the wire (connection closest to TM as possible) to the other end (the post at battery where wire connects). Set multimeter to Ohms and connect to both sides (test each wire separately, hot wire at TM to hot wire at battery and ground wire at TM to ground at battery), it should ideally read under 1.0 Ohm, but with a perfect connection you should see somewhere around 0.1 to 0.3 That will give you an idea if you have bad connection somewhere or corrosion, IF you need to troubleshoot further.
