What does the gauge mean on jumper cables?
The device’s wiring can be thicker or thinner. This thickness is marked with numbers and it’s called gauge. The smaller the gauge rating, the thicker the cables are. Some people start measuring the tool’s reliability based on the large gauge’s numbers that are a part of the product’s name (the wires aren’t marked with them).
Why do the gauges move with the key off?
