ABOUT THIS AWESOME BATTERY CABLE...
This extreme battery cable is specially designed to meet the demands of
various environments while staying extremely flexible. Full AWG sized copper
conductor made from Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) pure annealed electrolytic copper,
so you get maximum power. The insulation and jacket compounds are specially
formulated to stay flexible even in cold weather and carry a -49C to 105C
temperature rating. The jacket is resistant to chemicals, water, abrasions,
oil, sunlight and has a color coded dual extrusion jacket with a white inner
insulation which would show any damage to the outer cable more clearly. This
cable is rated up to 600 Volts and is suitable for use in automotive
applications, solar battery bank wiring, power inverter battery cables, marine
battery cables and many other applications calling for a durable yet flexible
battery cable. The battery cables meet the requirements of SAE J1127 and J378
making them ABYC and US Coast Guard approved for boat and marine use.
BENEFITS OVER WELDING CABLE:Full AWG Size Copper ConductorTPE Jacket is Oil
Resistant where EPDM on many welding cables is a poor insulator against oilSAE
Rated for Automotive and Marine Uses
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!
Other Benefits Include:
ABYC and USCG Approved for use on boats
SAE J1127 Approved
SAE J378 Approved
TPE Jacket is Very Resistant to Oil, Water, Acid, Gas, Tears and Abrasions
The Jacket Insulation Meets UL FT1 Flame Resistance Rating
Annealed Electrolytic ETP OFC Copper with Class K (Type III) Rope Lay for
flexibility
FULL AWG Copper ContentMADE IN THE USA
Suitable Uses:
Automotive Battery Cables
Marine / Boat Battery Cables
Solar Battery Bank Array
Forklift Charging Cables
Power Inverter Cables
Welding Cable Leads
Amplifier Wiring
and many other uses

The total circuit length includes both welding and grounds leads (based on
4-volt drop) 60% duty cycle.
These values for current-carrying capacity are based on a copper temperature
of 60°C (140°F), an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F) and yield load factors
from approximately 32% for the 2 AWG cable to approximately 23% for the 3/0 AWG
cable. In actual service, the load factor may be much higher than indicated
without overheating the cable as the ambient temperature will generally be
substantially lower than -40°C.
Now, a little education on why our REAL COPPER cable is better than CCA
copper clad aluminum):
It's important to understand that our cables are REAL COPPER and they will
handle more current (amps) than CCA (copper clad aluminum) cable in the same
size. Many products on the market use CCA instead of real copper and most
people just don't know the difference so here you go:
Our copper cable is rated to 100% conductivity vs 61% for Copper Clad
Aluminum (CCA) meaning you need 2 sizes larger for a CCA cable than you would
if you used real copper.
Copper is flexible and doesn't break easily but Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA)
expands and contracts nearly 1/3 more than copper from heat. Add to that the
fact that aluminum has around 37% of the tensile strength of copper and you
have the potential for breaking strands and loosening connections...something
you shouldn't mess with in high amperage DC Voltage applications!
Copper Clad Aluminum was designed for AC voltage use especially in high
frequencies like those found in signalling and telecommunications as AC current
travels on the outside of the conductor so aluminum inside and copper outside
meant an overall lighter weight and lower cost wire...but there is not a single
benefit in DC voltage! It's a sad abuse by manufacturers to sell low quality
cable dressed up as copper to unsuspecting buyers.So now you know why our REAL
COPPER cables are superior! Share this info with family and friends and BE SAFE!
Use REAL COPPER...like the soft annealed copper which makes up our durable and
flexible multi-rated battery and welding cable.
