battery cable

Wanderer:
I need shares in VWP.
It is good stuff though.
Not just for electrics. They do a nice line in windscreen washers along with various kit to make a variable throttle for when using a winch.

All good stuff. It's worth getting a catalogue sent out.

BTM - those jump leads are huuuuge....i need some new ones cos the ones in the 110 at the moment are weedy little things i nicked out of mums car....dont think theyd actually start a V8  :shock:

How much did they cost you to put together?

Thanks, they're 5metres long (I think, can't exactly remember) & I weighed them this morning on the baby scales in the department.
Twelve pounds :shock:

I think the cable probably cost at least £1.50 a metre, & as stated is 400amp - maybe more? (& that's a continuous rating)

Clips were perhaps £5:00 for 4, plus some decent nuts, washers & bolts to clamp it all together

The only disadvantage is the weight, I have an overwhelming fear that they'll drag off the battery & arc out.
With that in mind, I've got a 2, or maybe,3 new sets of (large sized) Anderson Plugs & may make a 'Pig-tail' to be permanantly connected.
I'll ask the father-in-law to get one of the sparkies at the bus depot to crimp them

You're not making the trip up for Langley Farm are you?

You want HOFR Welding flexible 0361TQ, probably 25mm²

Doesn't give an Ampage

ChrisW:
25mm² - 180amps at full load for 5min peak duration

I think the Lucas dealer in Sheffield makes (or made) cables to lenght and crimped the terminals on for a small fee.  Not such a candie store as VWP either.
