Battery Cable: Description and Operation
Battery Cables - Description
DESCRIPTION
The battery cables are large gauge, stranded copper wires sheathed within a heavy plastic or synthetic rubber insulating jacket. The wire used in the
battery cables combines excellent flexibility and reliability with high electrical current carrying capacity. The battery cables feature a clamping type
female battery terminal made of stamped sheet metal that is die cast onto one end of the battery cable wire. A pinch-bolt and nut are installed at the open
end of the female battery terminal clamp. Large eyelet type terminals are crimped onto the opposite end of the battery cable wire and then soldered. The
battery positive cable wires feature a larger female battery terminal clamp to allow connection to the larger battery positive terminal post. The battery
negative cable wires have a smaller female battery terminal clamp.
There are two separate battery cable harnesses used on this vehicle. The battery harness includes both the battery positive and negative cables to the
remote battery connection and may include portions of the wiring circuits for other components on some vehicles. The starter harness includes both the
battery positive and negative cables from the remote battery connection down to the starter and engine ground location. These two harnesses are sold as
separate assemblies.
