Alltrax Controller cable replacemnt question!!!
I have an Alltrax controller. I have changed all of the cables on my cart to 4 ga. I have 2 cables going from the motor to the controller. 1 I have changed with a 4 ga. cable. the other cable has a connector fitting on one end to attach to the controller. do they make a 4 ga cable with that fitting already on it? also, Why is it that i have read on other threads that you should not use auto cables when going to a 4 ga?? just wondering... TIA

Automotive battery cable typically does not have the high strand count we are looking for. 4g welding cable has about 400 strands, dissipates heat very well, has a neoprene jacket, and bends/routes easily. |

Automotive cables a designed to for low voltage and amperage, average 12-14v 20-30 amps. Golf Cart cables are typically handling 36-51v and 50-400 amps.

These are mine, made from 2/0 welding cable. I like the added protection of braided sleeving, plus it dresses it up nice!

Re: Alltrax Controller cable replacemnt question!!!
thanks you all for the input... I guess i will have to post a pic... on the top of my controller I have a disconnect fitting. That cable goes to the motor, It has the regular terminal fitting on it. I am looking for that cable in a 4 ga... does this make sense? Thanks again!!!!
