TEMCo INDUSTRIAL WC0202-50' (25' Blk, 25' Red) 6 Gauge AWG Welding Lead & Car Battery Cable Copper Wire Black + RED | Made in USA

They sell multi-strand thick gauge at the big hardware stores, but if you get 2 or 4 gauge you're looking at a core of 10-20 strands of thick solid line- very hard to shape and pull, especially in tight spaces. After wasting some money on that (although my alternator did run, so I guess it was worth it) I coughed up the cash to get this stuff. I am so glad I did. Redid my alternator, grounding, and starter wiring, including pulling the starter across the vehicle deep in the engine bay. Strung up a dual battery, solar, inverter setup (inverter runs through the firewall to the truck bed). The flexibility of this cable is what made the intricate and tight-fitting design possible.

Now I have purchased this wire before but this is fake the raping is correct but the wire is not long time for delivery don’t get ripoffWhat’s the big deal ?Combining Coper with aluminum creates natural corrosion and resistance ?

Having worked with high amperage systems during my career, I'm experienced in the selection of the type of wire and insulation necessary to safely handle lethal current.I've NEVER seen better conductor. We're not talking 12 gauge automotive wire; This is 4/0 fine braid copper used in welding lead, or high amperage ac/dc systems. All this quality in a very flexible jacket at incredibly low prices.I installed it in a class "a" motorhome with 450 amps of solar connected to an 800 amp battery bank, that needed to carry power to the load center 26 feet away without any line drop.Mission accomplished. Best system I ever wired!

I priced this $85 against 2 other vendors who wanted $125 for the same length of identical 4/0. I ordered 1 run just to compare to the 2 other vendors (I buy a lot of 4/0) Sure enough it’s identical. So I bought another run. The photo is of this brand next to another brand costing $40+ more for 20-25 feet

Pro's:* Works great* Flexible, durable, soft insulation* low resistance* heavy dutyCons:* Smelly out of the package/ needs to air outSo far the wire has been great. I'm using it for a portable solar setup, and I'm getting much better amps/ total watts than I was with the smaller AWG wire I had on hand.The wire is pretty flexible, and the insulation is soft enough to cut easily, and strip, with the copper wire being thick enough that I don't lose any strands.The seller was also very helpful when USPS lost my package, and fixed the situation quickly.They also have a really great warranty on their products, and appear to want to offer high quality products and customer service.They don't have any UV rating, so I'll update if the insulation starts degrading over time, but so far still like brand new (but without that plastic smell)

I'm installing a high current charging system so I can recharge my RV (trailer) batteries from the tow vehicle (2018 Sierra) when needed. I wanted high strand count welding cable due to its flexible properties. This cable is made in the USA, rated for high current and comes in both red & black color for easy identification. This is exactly what I wanted at a substantial discount compared to my local welding supply shop. In addition, the local welding shop only carries "black" so the red and black wire provided by TEMCo is a definite improvement.

conductor material is high quality, the price is hard to beat, and if you are wanting a cable that is flexible/maneuverable this style of welding cable is what you need. How flexible is it? Well the order of 15ft of 2 ga both red/black came all coiled up similar to a coil springs appearance, it was no wider than my hand in diameter and about 9" tall! again that was for the combo of red/black, so 2, 2 AWG 15' cables can be wound up in a circle with a diameter of less than 6 inches! If you need something more flexible than that well I don't even want to know what you are attempting to do 😂 As many are likely buying for battery cables, there is no turns you could come across that this couldn't navigate! This will also make for great jumper cables, as the flexibility means it will store away in a much smaller profile than many of the store bought cables. I am likely going to make some this winter, as my old cables have always been a complete hassle to store neatly, and those don't have nearly the capacity as this cable would!If I can come up with a con, it would be(maybe) the insulation is very soft and pliable, feels great, but I would be hesitant to leave the cables naked, as it feel like they could chafe easily in a automotive enviroment. I don't know that they actually would, just more of a feeling. Since I was also going to be running this near the engine, the slightly lower heat rating than SGX Battery cable was also on my mind. this shouldn't have any issue with the majority of cases, I just always have the prepare for the worst mindset.. so I covered the cable with Insultherm sleeving to give it great abrasion resistance and heat protection, and then over that used red colored expandable braid so that it it added a bit of visual appearance as well as should help draw attention to its location as I rerouted cables through areas that would not be as common, and in the unlikely event that a shop ends up doing some work on my vehicle, this should help to avoid any accidental damage due to not being easily visible. is this necessary?... no probably not, but I like to do things in an OCD meticulous type manner, the added protection is peace of mind, and look great too!

The 4 Awg and 2Awg cables came highly recommended and were every bit as good as I hoped they would be. I ended up using the 4 AWG wire and expect it to last a long time. The cable is very flexible, heat resistant and looks and feels high quality. Easy to crimp and easy to maneuver through tight spaces in a vehicle. With some loom and/or split tubing, the cable should last at least as long as your vehicle. There are certainly cheaper cables available on Amazon and elsewhere but I would recommend getting the highest quality cable one can lay their hands on.
