Current is the rated power divided by the nominal voltage, so a charger can come out a little above its label rating. Copper cable at 20 °C, positive and negative conductor, at most 3 % voltage drop. The cable is always rated for the fuse that protects it, and the fuse is sized at 125 % of the current. Input current assumes about 90 % conversion efficiency. If the manufacturer manual specifies a fuse or cable, follow the manual.
