The copper lugs feature a tin plating which is resistant to corrosion you’ll see on bare copper ring terminals. If you need something special with regard to the length or lugs outside the available options please send us a message and we may be able to help you out. ABOUT THE WIRE USED: Introducing our multi-rated, multi-purpose, flexible, real copper battery cable. This wire has multiple approvals for use in many electrical installation making it a very unique cable. From the pure electrolytic copper stranding to the durable yet flexible insulation, this cable has been designed to impress. Our UL listed battery cable carries ratings allowing it to be used as marine battery cable listed as UL1426 Boat Cable which maintains a BC-5W2 temperature rating of 105C dry and 75C wet. This wire can be continuously submerged in water with no issues. This fine battery cable exceeds the requirements of ABYC and the USCG (US Coast Guard) for installation on boats. The copper conductor features stranding which is tin plated to resist corrosion. Flexible Type III, Class K stranding is designed to absorb vibration found in motive environments such as automotive and marine thus protecting the cable from premature failure. FEATURES: Meets all applicable boat wiring regulations from ABYC, UL1426,and US Cost Guard for use on boatsRated 600 Volts Max with 105C Dry and 75C Wet (BC-5W2) temperature ratings and will remain flexible in extreme cold weatherJacket and insulation are resistant to oil, gas, fungus, salt water, battery acid, heat, abrasion and sunlightMultiple ratings including – BOAT CABLE (UL1426), THW (building wire), MTW (machine tool wire), AWM (Appliance Wiring Material) and CSA TEWCarries UL VW-1 Flame Resistant RatingIs ROHS CompliantMADE IN THE USA!!!Battery Cable Specifications: Wire Size Nominal Stranding Weight Amp Rating (AWG) O.D.(Inch) Count LBS/FT Continuous* 8 0.249 168 0 .070 80 6 0.324 266 0.114 120 4 0.386 420 0.164 160 2 0.437 665 0.251 210 1 0.518 836 0.333 245 1/0 0.563 1064 0.403 285 2/0 0.615 1330 0.500 330 3/0 0.670 1672 0.614 385 4/0 0.740 2109 0.765 445 *Per ABYC/USCG (Inside of engine space de-rate amps shown by 15% due to extra heat) Final pointers on lug sizing….most threaded stud batteries will have either a 5/16 or 3/8 inch stud. Most of the time the negative will be 5/16 so if the positive is the same size it is also 5/16, but if your battery stud is larger on the positive it will most likely be a 3/8. There are exceptions to the rule so please contact the manufacturer or measure. You can search online for bolt sizing tables which will help.
