Battery cable

[Gmachine1911]

Anguilla is correct, but there’s a difference between 4 AWG and 4/0 AWG cable...meaning that 2 AWG is larger in diameter then 4 AWG, however, 4/0 AWG is larger then 2/0 AWG (in terms of full copper stranded wire).


I used 4/0 in my Camaro that was very fine strand and extremely flexible and it was huge to deal with, perhaps overkill, but better safe then sorry. Mainly, it was challenging to route in a concealable manner due to the fact that it doesn’t like tight bends. For the engine connections, I stepped down to DSE’s 2 AWG cable and was very happy with it. Very flexible and high quality. I plan on using it on my Nova build. Whichever size you go with, invest in a proper crimping tool. It won’t matter how big your cable is if the terminals aren’t crimped/soldered properly.
