Battery cableis used to power your electrical system and is sized according to the american wire gauge or awg for short specification for electrically conductive cables.
Car battery cable size.
With a highly flexible epdm jacket and paper separator these sgr battery cables meet sae j1127 and the requirements of ul 558 and ul 583.
The fine stranded wire will pass more amperage than course stranded wire that has a lower strand count.
Automotive wire and cable.
In summary when selecting the correct size of battery cable you need to take into account the total maximum amperage your electrical system requires the voltage of your system usually 12 volts the total length that your cables need to be and the amount of voltage drop you are willing to accept versus the amount you want to spend.
