need battery cable source
Can anyone tell me where I can get a decent price on battery cables and cable parts? Besides ebay.
I need some 4 gauge wires, but i need about 10 of them that are 12" long and some that are 14". All the stuff I have found, is in sets, that will not work for me. I would also like to be able to make my own, if I can find a parts source. Thanks |

Re: need battery cable source
Every auto parts store in my vicinity carries battery cable, crimp, clamp and solder lugs and wire cutters, and heat shrink tubing. That's generally where I go when I need something.

Re: need battery cable source
You can also get welding cable by the foot and the lugs at places like Rural King supply. Tractor Supply Co. might also carry it. I would think that most any store that sells welders and supplies would also have the cable and lugs.

Re: need battery cable source
Crimping works, but I doubt anyone would deny that silver solder and heavy heat shrink is the best way to do it.

Re: need battery cable source
Thanks guys. I will try and seek out a welding supply, out here in the desert.
I was "scolded" once for using home depot wire. I was told the strand count was not enough, and would not be the way to go for carts. Also i see pre made battery cables at auto supplies and walmart etc, but again, was told those were ok for cars but not for the high amps for golf carts. |

Re: need battery cable source
Soldering is good if you know how to do it correctly. For the rest there is the crimp, which also needs to be done correctly.
