Cable length's

OK....silly question I know because even though I'm asking it, I will measure before purchasing but the background first. I need new inter-connection battery cables. I have (6) 6-volt batteries in a typical configuration (3 set's)....is there a length that is also typical of these wires. There is the three shorter lengths between the + and - and then the four longer ones between the outside terminals of + and -. I see some companies sell 6" and 12" lengths and I'm thinking that sounds right but when you are ordering 2/0 or 4/0 cable..I want to be sure. I was set to order wire, crimps, heat shrink from Amazon but it seems I can get them made for less.

PS...only reason I'm asking is that I don't have access to the batteries here at home.

  • Had the same dilemma. Long story short I decided to make my own and have not regretted it one bit. Nothing like custom (I) made and the ability to brag to boot! If you scour the interweb you can find good deals. Keep us posted.
  • You need a trip to the rig. Install batteries in the rig. Layout the positive and negative to the rig. Then measure the cables and type of cable clamps, get them. Look and measure how the cables feed the rig.
