I have run ~70A DC through a 10-gauge wire with Anderson SB50
connectors on either end for upwards of half an hour.  I just
tried it for grins once.  The wire certainly does get warm, but
it wasn't panicky hot.  I would rate it as an "attended" run, and
if you don't make a habit of it, you probably ain't going to hurt
anything (melt stuff or overly oxidize the copper wire).
Probably one heck of a voltage drop, though.
