Re: 4 gauge battery/motor cables?
For a short answer, don't do it, use 4 gauge welding cable. This has been talked about many times before, run a search on "4 gauge welding cable" for more info.
 Welcome to the forum! Where in Fl are you? |

Most audio casing is not fuel and acid resistant

Re: 4 gauge battery/motor cables?
IMHO 4 gauge is plenty. I know that some use 2 gauge and even 0 gauge, but unless you are running more than 48 volts I beleive it is just overkill. Just my two cents.

Re: 4 gauge battery/motor cables?
Great thanks! I priced out the cable and connectors and got about 70$ + my time to put all together then i found this set from one of the sponsors for bout 115$ i think thats resonable enough. Just wanna make sure its the correct one for my cart? I got a 96 ezgo txt series cart.
Thx for help!! https://www.eastcoastcarts.com/catal...Carts/1248.htm |

Re: 4 gauge battery/motor cables?
For $115, if they are crimped, soldered and shrink wrapped, I'd say not a bad price.
Only thing possibly cheaper is doing it yourself without counting your labor costs. |
