EPAuto 20-Inch Battery Inverter Cable Set

I bought these for a battery cut off switch for my RV. I already reviewed the switch, so I won't bother repeating how that thing worked. These things didn't fit. The cable length was long enough, but the hole in the end of the thing was too small for the battery terminal. I was already way into the project, and after I finished swearing a whole bunch of times because I bought the wrong thing, I decided I could drill the hole out to make it bigger. Well that was stupid. I stuck the drill bit in the hole, started drilling and the damn thing bound up on the drill bit. Then it spun around at warp speed, and the other end sliced my hand open. So I swore a whole bunch more. My 12 year old son's eyes got really big and he slunk away to his mom to tell her what I did. Eventually, I stopped the bleeding and pulled out some pliers to hold the other end of the cable while I drilled. Needless to say, that didn't help much either. It really just ripped the pliers out of my hand, and whipped around and smacked me in the arm this time. More swearing..... After a while, I got the holes drilled, and put the damn things on the batteries so I could use the cut off switch. It works fine, after I cleaned the blood off of the side of the camper.

Not meant be used in an automotive circuit. By that I mean hooking up to the battery in your car/truck. Not with the terminals these come with anyway. There are no battery posts in vehicles this small that I know of. Unless you want to snip off one of the existing terminals and replace it with a conventional clamp. But if you want to go thru that just buy the same thing but with the proper terminal clamps already installed for short money. These work great for riding mowers, snow machines and things of that sort. I got them so I could remount the battery on my Bombardier Outlander ATV so the battery is more accessible. So much easier to charge the battery or use to jump start another machine now. The cables and terminals are heavy enough to handle these kinds of machines but pliable enough to make a fairly tight bend if need be. Just keep in mind how a few bends effect the overall distance between point A to point B when you buy a set of cables.

As mentioned on other reviews both of the eyelets are not the same size, one of them is tiny. I knew this after reading the reviews and planned on having to drill it out. I still think the manufacturer should list that both of these are not the same size. I think the ends are also thinner material than other cables I have seen.

I used these cables to replace the OEM on my garden tractor. They are much longer than what I needed but the OEM replacements listed by power equipment suppliers are outrageously costly. These do the job at about $12.

I had to shorten one up and found that the internal strands are really fine. I was a little surprised to see that, especially when I’ve seen way thicker strands on much smaller gauge wire.Used it anyways on an alternator to battery hook up. So far so good.

Ease of installation

They were great

I have three 35 amp hour batteries in parallel. The battery with the shortest distance to the inverter, has it's leads doubled to supply power to the 2000W inverter.
