Battery Wire
- Use for vehicles
- 60V DC Wire: Flexible
600V AC/DC: Ultra Flexible - Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
Connect batteries in vehicles and generators.
Strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand.
Wire with a PVC plastic insulation resists fuel and oil.
Wire with an EPDM rubber insulation is ultra-flexible for use in applications that require tight turns. The insulation resists abrasion and oil.
SAE J1128 and SAE J1127 wire meet standards for low-voltage wiring in vehicle electrical systems.

Low-Voltage Cable
- Use For: Appliances, Vehicles
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 175° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as GPT cable, this cable is often used in low-voltage applications such as battery and vehicle wiring and radios. It has one red wire and one black wire to easily identify polarity. The wires can be pulled apart for installation.

Battery Power Cords
Connect batteries to each other.
Clamp × lug and lug × lug cords also connect batteries to electrical systems.
Cords with post terminals or threaded stud terminals connect two or three batteries in parallel for maximum starting power. Connect the positive terminals together and the negative terminals together to get the combined capacity (in amp-hours) of the batteries—battery voltage remains the same.

Light Duty Jumper Cables
These cables are for occasional use on cars and other small transport vehicles. The clamps are color-coded black (negative) and red (positive).
Hand-Held Starters for Large-Cell Batteries
Once fully charged, these starters store enough power to jump start a battery multiple times. All have reverse-polarity protection to prevent sparks and short circuits if the clamps touch or if they're not connected properly to a battery. They also have a USB port to charge mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. To recharge, connect them to a USB port with the included cord.
Starters with a 12-volt vehicle plug can be charged in a vehicle outlet.
For 2,000A and 3,000A starters, use the adapter cord with the 12-volt vehicle socket to charge devices that require more power than what the USB cord delivers.
