Gunnerkay put this in my marathon thread.

For what it's worth I got every single item I needed for my cables on Amazon. Welding cable, end lugs, heat shrink, even a crimper.

I am not crazy about steering business to a monster company like that but it was just too fast and easy for me to consider other suppliers.

Yeah I agree I always look at site sponsors first, but that $$ cant sometimes be too much for me.

I always get my cable supplies from eBay. Sponsors for everything else but cables I’ve found eBay is best. [emoji1303]

https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/ - sells welding cable in colors by the foot.
About a buck a foot for K class 4ga and about 1.50 a foot for 2ga in colors.
The premium M class is orange and 1.50/ft for 4ga and 2.20/ft for 2ga.

Not even sure I was going to replace the battery cables nothing wrong with the ones I have but is there a big benefit to that larger cable? I know they will carry and handle more power, will it alone make the cart faster or batteries last longer?

Definitely want good cables.... might be a benefit and might not depending on the state of your current cables but if any of them are getting warm... there will be benefit to upgrading them
