Best Gauge Wire to Connect 6V Batteries Together
Updated 06/06/2023 | Published 06/03/2023
Question:
I came across this answer and thought someone should review it. Wiring 2 6v batteries together in series with 10 ga wire does not seem safe I hope I misunderstood that.

You are correct that wiring thicker than 10 gauge is better for connecting batteries together. Something like the 2.0 Gauge # DW04363 is best for this application.
I've updated the answer page you referenced to reflect this as well - thank you for pointing it out!
