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.
Both the battery positive and negative cables are available for service replacement only as a unit with the battery wire harness, which may include
portions of the wiring circuits for the generator and other components on some vehicles.
