source for battery cable and ring terminals
Where is a good source for high strand count bulk cabling and tin coated copper ring terminals?
I have an industrial crimper and can cut and crimp my own cables. I am looking for good value not cheap. Any help is appreciated. |

I use Del-City. Good quality wire and terminals; and great service.

Why crimp when Silver-Soldering is much better? I understand good crimps work, but do not flow like soldered-ends.

Re: source for battery cable and ring terminals
There are probably a lot of people on here that will flame me on this.
I don't know much about golf carts but I can tell you this about cable connections. Properly crimped connections are better than soldered connections. It is a proven fact. I do work for a local battery manufacturer. They form about 50,000 AGM and GEL batteries a week. ALL their cables that go from the chargers to the batteries are crimped not soldered. Their engineers found out years ago that the crimped ends have less resistance than the soldered ends. It's not a resistance that you can measure static with a meter. You have to measure it running a couple hundred amps through the connection. It cut their power consumption by thousands of dollars a year when they made the change. Amazing, I never would have believed it. Seems to me if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me. I doubt helps on a cart over a soldered one but it's easier for me to do. |
