Title: Battery Cables
Post by: gcam on October 11, 2005, 10:21:10 PM

Any sources for GOOD cables and terminals? I keep getting fault codes related to voltage interruptions to the CPS, TPS, etc.  I've replaced my cables with cables and ends from Auto Value about a year ago, and there is always a bunch of corrosion between the cables and the ends, and the ends and the battery posts.  I want to put on new cables and an extra ground strap.

Thanks.
Geoff

Amperage Technology Industries.  They are in the NE and are on this board, electricalguys.  I have gotten my winch fixed there and new battery cables for it.  They are good and reasonably priced.

IMO, welding cables are the best.  They are flexible and have very durable insulation.  Any wedling supply shop should be able to supply cables  and crimp the lugs on for you.  I would also suugest 2/0 or larger.
