Big 3 Upgrade Kits – Side Post Battery
Product Improvement – All Kits Now Include Translucent Black Ground Cables!
Big 3 Upgrade Kit Specifics
As with all of out kits, our Big 3 Upgrade Kits include the very best components available. Rest assured, this is NOT three chunks of welding cable in a Ziploc® baggie! Each kit is incredibly well thought out and installation is a breeze. No crimping or soldering required!
The Best Cable
We use the very best cable we can get our hands on – our own! It meets full American Wire Gauge (AWG) specification, is Pure Oxygen Free Copper (OFC), and tinned for corrosion resistance. Other companies use Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) cable in an effort to reduce cost. CCA has 30-40% greater resistance per foot than OFC, so while it may be cheaper, it also comes at the expense of performance.
Specifically, our OFC cable has the following strand count:
- 3/0 AWG Cable – 7,546 strands!
- 2/0 AWG Cable – 5,929 strands!
- 1/0 AWG Cable – 4,704 strands!
- 2 AWG Cable – 2,989 strands!
- 4 AWG Cable – 1,862 strands!
- 8 AWG Cable – 735 strands!
The fine-strand construction and soft jacket offer excellent flexibility, far superior to standard battery cable and better than the best welding cable!
The Best Parts
All eyelets and battery terminals are installed via our crimping press and insulated with the thickest adhesive lined heat shrink available. This super-thick adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing prevents battery acid or oxidation from entering the connection itself.
Additionally, we include a complete assortment of Grade 5 Hardware with each kit. You’ll have every single thing you need to get the job done right the first time. We guarantee it!
