sorry ( i am a newbie to this forum ) if this is already answered else where, but i would like to know the minimum gauge wire i should use for a 60amp alternator (15V) to the Bus bar which is 5ft away. In normal operation max current draw in flight would be 12 amps ( landing lights , nav lights, radio, transponder, solenoids)

In addition, (and this may seem like a silly idea), but I actually want to limit the maximum current that could go into my lithium Ion Phosphate battery immediately after start up to say 10 amps, how would I go about this ? Currently it is drawing max amps out of the alternator for the rotation speed (1200 rpm) for a few minutes, and I think this was the reason for my alternator drive coupling slipping.
