I am new to the raspberry pi world and electronic in general. so I am wondering if it is safe to hook up 20 AWG wires to a car battery and have those wires going into a L298N h-bridge to power 2 AUTOTOOLHOME 6-12V Mini DC Motor also using 20 AWG. All which is used by the raspberry pi 4 to control the speed and direction of the motor. Is this possible and safe to use a car battery? Is 20AWG ok to use on a battery that size, do I need resistors, capacitors or something else? any type of information would help

The motor I am using: https://www.amazon.com/AUTOTOOLHOME-Torque-Traxxas-Wheels-Electric/dp/B01M58POHF/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3636FZD5UVI2Z&keywords=dc+motor&qid=1648526936&sprefix=dc+moto%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-2

The H-Bridge I am using: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Controller-Stepper-H-Bridge-Mega2560/dp/B07BK1QL5T/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2H75IA51OX5V4&keywords=h+bridge+12v&qid=1648524612&sprefix=h+bridge+12v%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-4

The car battery is a 12v 600CCA CA750 RC110

If you wire it up correctly it is safe.

Note that the L298N module can only provide a couple of amps of current.

You do not need additional components other than wire.
