Where to buy marine battery cables

[Leebert]

Like the title says. I'm looking to purchase a few quality marine battery cables. Is there a preferred online source anyone could recommend?

Thanks,

I've never seen any meaningful difference in marine vs automotive battery cables. Maybe someone sells tinned cables, but I've never seen them. I usually use automotive cables and heatshrink 2" at each end. There is someone on ebay in the boating electrical section that sells built to order cables with Ancor parts at fair prices.

Try this link.

Or you can go to Del City. Del City has Ancor at a good price. The above link is a little cheaper, and has free shipping. Its not Ancor but its tinned and it has all of the appropriate lableing on the insulation. I am sure Ancor is not the only game in town.

I picked up a bunch of 1/0 marine wire (and it IS different than auto or welding wire) from Skycraftsurplus.com

I then picked up a hammer crimper from a local battery supply store. I used Ancor lugs and proper heatshrink. Still looking good as new 3 seasons later.

Do not use automotive cable. Purchase either Anchor or Pacer brand marine cable, and try and have the Lugs crimped on using a Hex type crimp tool.

Another vote for genuinedealz.

You can use non marine, non tinned wire, it will corrode and fail eventually.

While I could have gone cheap with welding wire or a pair of jumber cables, I just can't afford to have my electrical system crap out on me. So I went overkill, 4/0 marine throughout with crimped and soldered connections, and blue sea hardware.
