In Reply to: 4 gauge welding cable? posted by ampreometric on December 17, 2010 at 08:47:10:
I have a neighbor who is an automobile hot rodder. A few years ago, someone suggested to him that he use the welding cable for battery cables. The idea was to place the battery in the rear of the auto. The cable ran forward to the starter.After a few days he had problems starting the car. I looked at the cable and the individual strands of copper within the cable had oxidized. This oxide increased the resistance and led to the problem with the car starting and the battery maintaining a charge.
The welding cable may, well, work, but I would suggest that you check the strands for oxide (green coloring). If there is no oxide - make sure that you can make an air tight cable terminations.
If you follow through and implement the welding cables; please, report your findings.
