8 GAUGE (8 AWG) CUSTOM MADE MARINE GRADE TINNED COPPER BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY
You choose your color, length and cable ends from the options above near the purchase buttons. The copper lugs (ring terminals) feature a tin plating which is resistant to corrosion and it superior to bare copper terminals. These custom cables are made from our premium Marine Grade Tinned Copper UL1426 Listed Battery Cable which is pure OFC copper, Made in the USA and full copper AWG wire gauge size.
The copper connectors are crimped to the battery cable using the UL approved crimping tool as specified by the manufacturer. We then seal the connection point with adhesive heat shrink tubing in the color to match the cable. The heat shrink has a melt-able glue lining to help seal your cable from air and moisture.

MORE ABOUT THE WIRE USED:
Introducing our multi-rated, multi-purpose, flexible, real copper battery cable. This wire has multiple approvals for use in many electrical installation making it a very unique cable. From the pure electrolytic copper stranding to the durable yet flexible insulation, this cable has been designed to impress.
Our UL listed battery cable carries ratings allowing it to be used as marine battery cable listed as UL1426 Boat Cable which maintains a BC-5W2 temperature rating of 105C dry and 75C wet. This wire can be continuously submerged in water with no issues. This fine battery cable exceeds the requirements of ABYC and the USCG (US Coast Guard) for installation on boats.
The copper conductor features stranding which is tin plated to resist corrosion. Flexible Type III, Class K stranding is designed to absorb vibration found in motive environments such as automotive and marine thus protecting the cable from premature failure.
FEATURES:
Meets all applicable boat wiring regulations from ABYC and US Cost Guard for use on boats
Rated 600 Volts Max with 105C Dry and 75C Wet (BC-5W2) temperature ratings and will remain flexible in extreme cold weather
Jacket and insulation are resistant to oil, gas, fungus, salt water, battery acid, heat, abrasion and sunlight
MADE IN THE USA!!!
BENEFITS OVER WELDING CABLE:
Full AWG Size OFC Copper Conductor
Electroplated tinned copper stranding to resist corrosion
UL Listed - Quality Strictly Controlled
Superior Oil Resistance of PVC where EPDM on many welding cables is a poor insulator against oil
Meets and Exceeds USCG and ABYC guidelines for Marine Uses
UL Listed as water resistant
BENEFITS OVER CCA POWER WIRE:
Our cable is Copper...REAL COPPER but watch out for other "CCA Cable" as CCA Means Copper Clad Aluminum so you'd be using Aluminum which is a poor conductor compared to this pure copper cable! You have to use larger sizes of aluminum CCA cable, approximately 2 sizes larger to get close to the same power delivery as real copper cable! If you care about maximum power use our cable!
FINAL POINTERS ON LUG SIZING:
....most threaded stud batteries will have either a 5/16 or 3/8 inch stud. Most of the time the negative will be 5/16 so if the positive is the same size it is also 5/16, but if your battery stud is larger on the positive it will most likely be a 3/8. There are exceptions to the rule so please contact the manufacturer or measure. You can search online for bolt sizing tables which will help.
If you have questions about cable sizing and whether this is the correct size feel free to send us a message and we will do our best to answer you or at a minimum steer you in the right direction.

Quality wiring
I bought this to run dedicated power from a battery to electronics in my boat. I had terminal on one end and wired to a bussbar. Absolutely worth the money!

54 F100 Wire
I used this to replace the 67 year old wire running from my starter solenoid to the wire block on the fire wall for my 1954 Ford F100. It works perfect and as I was able to select the ends I needed so that it fit with no problems. High quality product, I wouldn't hesitate to order again if I need more cables in the future.

*All wire and cable amperage ratings are governed by the installation and not by the wire itself! There are different codes and suggestions in different installation environments so be sure to look into any codes or regulations covering your specific installation to determine the correct amperage ratings.
Q: What if I need an assembly length not listed?
A: Order the next largest length available and add a note in the checkout for us to adjust your cable to the length you need. Example: You want 10.5ft so order an 11ft and add a note for us to make the cable 10.5ft instead.
*If you're looking for a longer length than what is available in the regular BATTERY CABLE section please go to the WIRE BY THE FOOT section and order the longer length of wire and order the connectors in the CONNECTORS section and simply add a note in the checkout for what you'd like us to assemble for you from those items.
Q: Can you turn or rotate a certain connector?
A: Yes, just order the cable as listed and in the checkout add a note telling us how you want the lug turned. Here is a chart we made to assist you in describing how to tell us to turn lugs >
Lug and Terminal Turn Options
Q: Can you put a 90 degree bent lug on instead or a straight one?
A: Yes, just order the cable as listed with the straight lugs and add a note in the checkout for us to put a 90 degree bent lug on instead.
Q: Do you have cables pre-made for specific vehicles?
A: No, sadly there is no place for us to lookup the battery cable dimensions of wire size, length and end sizes on a per vehicle basis. That information is not in any readily accessible database. You'll have to get the measurements for the cables you want us to build for you before we can build them
Q: Can you add an auxiliary or extra wire in the same connector?
A: Yes, we can. At this time the way we handle it is if the extra wire is 8 AWG or larger you would order the extra wire as an assembly being sure to leave at least one end with no connector and add a note for us to put it into which ever end you tell us to. If the auxiliary wire is smaller than 8 AWG we can use a 10 AWG wire just add a note in the checkout for us to add a 10 AWG wire into whichever connector you need it in.
Q: Can you help me figure out my bolt size?
A: We have put some information together here to help >
How to measure a bolt size
Q: Can you help me figure out what size cable or wire I currently have?
A: Always start by looking on the side of the wire for printing that should tell you the wire size. Sometimes there is a stamp in the connector which indicates the size as well. Different styles of stranding in the cable as well as various insulation thicknesses mean there is not a "one size fits all" exact measurement but here are measurements based on a range of typical battery cable styles as a reference. (when in doubt between wire sizes ALWAYS choose the larger wire size)

A: Some people need certain specifications on cables due to codes and regulations. We've put together a cable comparison section here >
