If longer battery cables are required, the cable gauge size must increase. See chart following for correct wire size.
a -
Wire size by cross‑sectional
area (gauge)
b -
Battery cable length
NOTE: Engine starting batteries should be located as close to engine as possible.
To select proper size positive (+) and negative (–) battery cables using the following procedure and chart:
1. Add the positive and negative cable lengths together.
2. Divide by 2 to obtain the average cable length.
IMPORTANT: Terminals must be soldered to cable ends to ensure good electrical contact. Use electrical grade (rosin flux) solder
only. Do not use acid flux solder, as it may cause corrosion and a subsequent failure.
