I am trying to extend my winch cables on my Warn 9000X. My battery is located behind/under my passenger seat and the warn cables are about 5-6' too short. I tried going to Kragens today and they only sell a 36" #2 battery cable, I need a longer 48-60" cable. They did have a #4 cable that would be long enough. The #4 is a little less thicker than the #2, dont know if this would be a problem or not?
My next problem is connecting the cables together, I can use the eye holes and bolt them together then wrap them in electrical tape. I am wondering if this is going to affect my winch performance if the current is cut down at this point. Does anyone know if they sell connectors to splice together battery cables (double female connectors). I thought about possibly tying into the starter but was not sure if that might create problems.
Any help or feedback appreciated.
Thanks
