Moving Battery box

[CBakes]

Hey guys, looking for recommendations for finding long battery cable leads. I am moving my battery to back of the truck and putting it into a marine battery box. Need really heavy wire to lower resistance. What do you suggest?

Tsc sells welding cable, I would run that, it can handle the amps and is very flexible and easy to route

[CBakes]

Would you get the 2 gauge?

I go to stereo shops

I would get heaviest gauge you can afford and will fit, when it gets too big its hard to run it threw firewall and stuff, and have a clean look

I ran welding cable to my extra battery and it was located in the box of truck used it for running the plow back in the seventies now I use the same cable for my jumper cables.

#2 or #4 welding wire (multi strand) should work just fine.

I used old wire from plow controllers, when shops remove or upgrade plows on customers trucks, they usually pull the old wire which I believe is #2.  It worked great for me in the Reject.  The wire was free too!

[mudboggincrazy]

id say the 4 gauge would work fine and get the soider on ends for the connectors they hold up better then them clamp on 1s do

Ive used 4ga jumper cables. Just cut the clamps off and put battery terminals

Don't use weld cable. It will fault out in time. Order a spool of 4ga or 2ga n be done.
