Main battery ground cable - replacement

[Malleus]

Well the day I've been putting off has finally arrived: my '94s battery ground has finally reached the end of its service life.

I'd like to know what the premier builders are using in their new work for 82123-60130 @OGBeno @SNLC Onur and Ian, what do you guys think?

I know I can cobble something together out of welding cable and Advance Auto Parts stuff, but I'd really rather not.

My two '95s are probably not far away from needing the same repair, so I'd really like to do this once and be done with it, properly.

We build custom battery ground cables as needed using OEM battery terminal connections and good welding wire.

@OGBeno good to know. Which OEM connectors are you using? 90982-06059? (or similar)

The 80 series connectors appear to have been lead molded onto the cable ends and not available separately.

Correct.

We use different connectors depending on application.

I’ve had these for several years from @Fourrunner and they have been great.

I’ve got a post in the winch section were I made custom cables. It was designed to handle the 400 amp draw of the winch.

Many ways to skin that cat!

I’ve used welding cable but the next set I do will be with Anchor tinned marine cable. Do it once and never worry again and there will be zero voltage/current drop due to oxidized plain copper. It also has a pretty durable sheathing.
