What do you guys do for battery cables, 96? Would be nice to have the correct ones without hacking.

Are you guys all using these cables?

 

I'm not. I just went to Orilley's and asked for a few feet of 2AWG from behind the counter, and bought the heat shrink and connectors from off the shelf. The cables Durma linked would probably be a more professional and permanent replacement (while also looking bad af!)

 

I have them sitting in my basement but haven't yet put them in. They do look nice.

 

There's also another guy (5-90 IIRC) that used to sell cable kits.


I just sourced some fine strand cable and made my own. (crimp and solder the ends, cover with heat shrink)


It was cheaper (not by much if you factor in my time), but more than- that I was on a time crunch to head to the Rubicon, and had other electrical to manage as well with F/R winches, inverter, etc..

 

5-90 hasn't been around for years.

I have MeanLemons cables.

 

i went ahead and decided to make my own, even though it would probably be more cost effective to buy a kit depending on what materials you can get yourself.

i was able to find some 1/0 awg cables, bought the lugs, heat shrink and terminals and it ended up costing me around 60$ total. cables were from the junkyard at 1$/ft. i think you're safe to go as low as 4 awg for the cables. mine are a bit overkill but for the price I went with the thickest cables i could find.

i will keep the inline fuse to the alternator for now, so the cost of a fuse/fuse holder isn't included in my total, but it shouldn't add much more to the price.
