EBAY "Sale Genuine 4 Gauge Copper Jumper Cables"

Geeze I'm lucky to keep a set of jumper cables for a couple years before they disappear. :)

I bought a high quality set of copper cables in 1973. And I still use them today. Part of that is good luck. And another part is of that is good quality.

I used my cables a few times each year when I drove my truck to work each day.
When word gets out, someone would need a jump often enough. AAA owes me a bundle :R

Actually, one uses jumper cables so seldom that I think mine are 14' copper coated aluminum ones. Don't really care...back in the day, on the farm, I've used two lengths of barbed wire to jumper a battery on a tractor.
(Yeah, go ahead and ask me how hot it got, but it worked).

English as a second language.

It's Fleabay, would you really expect all the correct and non misleading info? :)

Perhaps Mex was just pointing out the misleading advertizing. They're copper coated aluminum cables, not copper cables. At least the vendor honestly cleared that point.

many people buy jumper cables to make connectors for their battery banks on their solar systems.
ordering a set of those jumper cables for that use would be a bummer.

Even in residential applications CU-coated AL corrected the issues with AL wiring. No reason not to buy, just know what you are getting and use accordingly.

I think I can see the issue with wires that are being used constantly, but what would be damage done by jumper cables that are only used once in a blue moon?
