...Should wire be to safely handle 15A?

Having played about with my alternator ive a bad feeling the current wire is a bit skinny for 15A.

I'd also rather go a bit overkill rather than on the thin side, i want
to minimise my I(squared)R losses.

Answered in mm dia or perhaps overall mm squared please

I cant work the AWG or SWG terminolgy.

Cheers,

It depends on the voltage.

2mm squared should do it.
