We provide a range of cables and accessories suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professionals, along with detailed guidance on installation and sizing.

    Explore our collection and find the perfect battery leads and cables to ensure your car's electrical connections remain strong and dependable. With the right cables in place, you can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is ready to perform at its best.

    Battery leads and cables are essential for ensuring a secure and efficient connection between your car's battery and the rest of the electrical system. We offer a wide variety of leads and cables suitable for just about any vehicle, bike, towable or floatable tow. Ensure your battery and electrical system is always functional and dependable with our extensive range of battery leads and cables.

    Understanding what gauge wire is best for a car battery and determining the correct cable size for your needs is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's electrical reliability. Whether you're upgrading your existing cables or setting up a dual battery system, we have the right solutions for you. Explore our collection below to find what you need to return your car's electrical system to tip top shape.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    In an ideal world your cable should be sized to achieve a maximum of 3% voltage drop along it’s length to ensure safe, effective and efficient power delivery and operation. That will limit the amount of power being dissipated along the cable to less than 3% of the power being delivered and will also ensure that any fuse protecting the circuit or device has adequate power to do it’s job quickly and efficiently.

    Selecting the right gauge wire for your car battery is crucial for safe and efficient power transmission. All you need to know to calculate what gauge cable is best suited for your application is the amount of current required and how long the length of cable will be.

    There are several ways to determine how much current flow is required for a given device. Always start by consulting the specifications page of the manufacturer’s operating manual, as most manufacturers will specify the peak power consumption of the product therein. Alternatively, if the device has a fuse, then simply double the value of the fuse. For example, if the device has a 10-Amp fuse then 20-Amps is a relatively safe bet for maximum current flow. If the device to be powered has a continuous and consistent current demand, such as a light or heater then you may be able to find the current draw using a multimeter, however be sure not to exceed the maximum rating of the meter. If the device has a motor, note that the startup current will surge much higher than the continuous load. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified auto electrician or contact the manufacturer for cable sizing advice.

    Armed with the required current flow and the length of cable, you can use an online calculator like that found here to calculate the minimum cable size you need to ensure a voltage drop of less than 3%. The output will be in metric, however you can easily use the cross reference chart found here to find the imperial gauge (AWG) equivalent.

    Setting up a dual battery system requires the right cable size to ensure both batteries are connected effectively, and with minimal voltage drop at peak power. Follow the process of calculating current demand using the procedure outlined on the previous question.
