Description
Marine Battery Cable6 AWG, 4 AWG, or 2 AWG in Red or Black sold by the foot
Choose the wire size and color then enter the number of feet you want so if you put in 16 it will be a 16 foot long piece and if you put in 50 it will be a 50 foot long piece etc.
Our marine battery cable is
Made in the USA
from pure electrolytic copper in a fine stranded, type III rope stranding. You choose the wire size, color and length by the foot that you need...easy!
Each strand of copper is electro tin plated which keeps the copper from corroding. Tinned copper is preferred for long life of the copper conductor and is great in the marine environment as well as automotive!
***IMPORTANT!!!
Don't get suckered into buying copper plated aluminum (known as CCA copper clad aluminum) as
our
REAL COPPER CABLE will HANDLE MORE POWER!!!***
The marine battery cable insulation is flexible and durable designed to withstand water, salt, gas and oil unlike more commonly available welding cable.
