Rigging recommendation
Extension length recommendation for battery cable
Do not exceed the recommended extension length for the battery cable. Otherwise, the elec-
trical system could be damaged or operate improperly.
To extend the length of battery cables, follow the requirements in the tables for your battery capac-
ity, cable size, and ambient temperature.
The maximum total extension length is the total combined length of the positive and negative bat-
tery cables.
Select an extension battery cable and terminal that meet ABYC requirements or equivalent.
Select a battery stud that is best-suited to the terminal size.
Solder the cable and terminal connections to prevent them from corroding.
Ambient temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) and above
