Marine battery cables are specifically designed for connecting batteries in boats and yachts. They use tinned copper to resist corrosion, are flexible for easy routing, and have durable insulation to withstand moisture, salt water, and UV exposure. They are designed for marine batteries, which have thicker internal lead plates than car batteries.
Marine Battery Cable Applications
Connecting boat and yacht batteries
Powering marine electrical systems
Battery grounding
Connecting multiple batteries in parallel or series
Energy saving for trolley engines
Providing power to electronic devices and equipment on board the aircraft
Marine Battery Charging Systems
Marine Battery Cables Characteristics
Tin plated copper conductors for corrosion resistance.
High flexibility for easy steering
Durable insulation (PVC, EPDM, XLPE) resistant to moisture, salt water and UV rays, or silicone insulation for high heat resistance and flexibility in extreme temperature conditions
Large number of threads for improved conductivity and flexibility.
Fire Resistant Jacket for Safety
Oil and chemical resistant
High temperature rating (common operating temperature 105°C).
Meets Marine Quality Standards such as UL1426 for Reliability in Harsh Environments: UL 1426 certified cables undergo rigorous testing for environmental factors such as exposure to salt spray, humidity, and other conditions typical of marine environments.
Marine battery cables come with one or two conductors. Single conductor cables are typically used to connect a single battery to a load, while dual conductor cables are used to connect two batteries together or to a load in a parallel or series configuration. A third conductor may sometimes be used in dual battery systems as a ground.
If it is necessary to install the cable in tight spaces, a version with a flat connector is available.
Marine battery cables are available in sizes ranging from 18 AWG to 4/0 AWG, although these may vary by manufacturer.
