Battery link cables

[cliffb]

Hi all,
I want to link another battery to my house bank and therefore need a couple of short (300mm ish) cables. One red, one black for 130ah batteries. I'd prefer to buy them made up rather than buy a metre of each and the lugs. Does anyone know where I can get something like this, mail order?
Thanks

Try these people http://www.merlinequipment.com/, they had them already made up different sizes and thickness and different size lugs. Not Cheap though between £14-£20 depending on cable.
Hope this helps

I think Merlin Equipment do them, at least I have seen them on their boat show stands.

ooops - pipped me by a second!

Acorn Engineering offer a range of different lengths/types at sensible(ish) prices.

I would give Boat Electrics and Electronics a call. (01475 522268) They are based at Kip marina and regularly come to Adrossan. If you give them the measurements they can make them up and bring them down.

Vehicle Wiring Products in derby may be able to help also. Have a look here :

If you look for a local auto electrics garage near you they should be able to make you up what you need. I got these made for me locally and they could make whatever I wanted mind you they did lean a little to the marine side but you may have somewhere like that where you are. The postage sometimes costs nearly as much as the order which is a real pain!

Agree with noswellplease - local car battery supplier made me up a couple with soldered on lugs for couple of ££ and we are as far from the sea as you can be - hence the cheaper price!!

Try your local LSUK branch or any auto electrical garage, Just a thought. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ] I'd second that. Any half decent auto electrician should be able to make the leads.
