Re: Make my own battery cables??
I bought my cables from ScottyB! He made them to the lengths I needed for my Lithium pack. Yes I could have made them myself but I would have had to invest in the proper tools. I am very happy with the build quality and fast service.

I have had my process temperature monitored through a complete set. The working temp did not vary more than 10º from optimum on any process. (on that day) I have had my cables tested by our own JohnnieB, retired NASA electrical testing instructor. They passed. You can do it too if you are experienced. If you are not experienced in this field, a crimp connection may be the best option for you. We have helped trouble shoot some botched homemade cables here in the past. Good Luck and have fun |

Re: Make my own battery cables??
I have always crimped and soldered then used military grade shrink tube for the final measure of protection from corrosion. Never had a failure.

Re: Make my own battery cables??
I made my own 4 gauge cables for my cart. I picked up the wire, terminals, and heat shrink all at my local hardware and seed store. I used the Harbor Freight hydraulic crimper and it worked very well. I found the process to be fun and self satisfying.
