What wire should I use to solder in the Charge Mod?

I was hoping for more help with this. I can't seem to find it anywhere mentioned on the forum.

I want to know what wire is recommended for the USB charge mod for the DS capture card? I am aware of using wire that is too thin and how it can cause heat, but I don't see anywhere mentioning what gauge or thickness of wire to use.

Am I right in assuming that 32 AWG wire, as recommended for the controller mod, is sufficient to carry the current of the USB charge mod?

Thanks in advance!

I was using a 28AWG wire on them.
32 is quite thin, I'd use something bigger than that. If that's all you have, combine a few strands together.
