4 gauge battery cables vs. welding cable
Hey Guys,
What's the difference between say 4 gauge battery cables and #2 arc welding cables? I can get my hands on some cheap #2 welding cables. Would these welding cables suffice as heavy battery cables? Can they carry the amps? Thanks, bwy |

They are likely bigger than needed but if the price is right and you can get the ends for them then go for it.

Re: 4 gauge battery cables vs. welding cable
yes you should use # 2 weld lead if your going to change battery cables over .. thats all we put on our custom cart that we build . the lugs are readily available at any welding supply house.... alltrax controllers.. recommends it for there larger controllers for heat dissipation... amperage draw...and it easy to work with...
