Making your own Custom Battery Cables

In the April Issue of Cycle Source Magazine Daniel from Pandemonium Custom Choppers did a article on how to make your own custom battery cables.

Making your own high quality battery cables is simple to do. I like to use car audio power cable in either 4 or 8 gauge size. Car audio wire has hundreds of strands of wire that will flow more current vs. a standard cable with just a few strands. See, current flows on the outside of each strand of wire in a cable, not through the center of it like you might think. There for, the more strands in a cable, the better the current flow. This makes a car audio power cable a great choice; it’s also very flexible which makes it easy to route. On a final note, most car audio places have scraps of this stuff lying around that are big enough to make your battery cables with, and that can save you some dough. So for this month we are going to make a set of custom battery cables for Chris’s “Ticket To Ride” Panhead. You can see more of this build in the book Custom Motorcycle Building Basics on Newstands now!
