Default Battery cable question

I am going to upgrade all my battery cables on my 1990 exgo marathon and was wondering what I should do. The old ones are the standard #6 guage, and everything I have rad said to use #4 guage, but I can get heavier #2 guage for the same price....should I go with the #2? or just move up to the next size #4?
thanx

Not all cables are equal. Do your homework. Most 2G kits are custom made so are the ends soldered is one thing to look for also is it made from Welding cable and what is the strand count.

here is what the ad for the cables say:
- These cables are made with very fine copper wire & insulated with synthetic rubber.
- It’s called Welding Cable but works better than Battery Cable for Electric Vehicles.

should I look for solder, or crimped connections?

Your best best is going to be to contact ScottyB at carts unlimited. He is a sponsor here on the forums and makes the best cables in the business.

In 4g cable you are looking for 400+ strand count. Scottyb will verify his, will the other vendor?

If Scottyb's prices are higher than the other vendor's, you can be sure the product quality warrants it. His cables are hand made and top notch.

Best of all, they are on sale now. Buy them online and get free shipping too Go 2g on the cart and never doubt you have enough amperage handling capacity.
I see crimped cables close or above the price of my Silver Soldered Cable sets.

Free shipping for cables sets is for internet purchases only....using the buy-it-now button, not phone call orders, and certainly not 3 calls a day
