This is a custom-length battery cable, built to the same high standards as our standard 12 in. battery cable. Once the overall length is selected, the red and black wire lengths are both equal to the chosen length.

The cable is made of 6 gauge multi-strand wire while the connectors are securely crimped and protected with heat shrink tubing. The cable uses the same wire and crimped connector components as used on the standard length Battery Cable, which uses our robust 6-ton pneumatic crimping tool. One end includes the SB-50A APP Connector and the other end includes the 1/4 in. diameter crimped ring terminals.

The selected cable length can be between 6 in. and 36 in. Simply select your desired length from the drop-down menu on the right to choose the overall length of this cable. All cable lengths are +/- 1 in.

FRC Competition Tip: As your battery cable length increases, so does the internal resistance of the wire. This creates a voltage drop that means less power going to your motors and control system. For best results, you'll want to keep this cable as short as your design allows safely. Please also see R103, longer versions of this cable may not be exempt from the robot weight limit.
