One set of ten 2 gauge battery cables for EZGO TXT PDS 48olt cart with Six 8 (6x8) volt battery setup. This set includes all the load bearing cables in this system. (the two 48" motor cables are not pictured but are included) These wires are made from premium 2 gauge welding wire. The lugs are solid copper 5/16 size with "tinned" plating and are silver soldered using high quality silver solder designed specifically for electronic use. These cables are large enough to handle the big performance carts using high amperage controllers and motors but will also work great on stock carts. Using larger gauge cable creates a path of less resistance for your batteries to get power to your motor. Less resistance means less heat which translates into longer life and better performance. Your battery cables are the foundation of your carts drive system. New batteries with poor quality cables will work far hader to achieve the same results and sometimes can suffer catastrophic meltdowns. Don't chance your investment in your batteries by skimping on the cables!
You also get my full support should you need help via email with my cables. And my customers get the type of service I'd expect from vendors I deal with. If something goes awry, I'll make it right, period.You do not have to read below. It is free advice about some newer sellers that seem to have modeled their listings off mine but give very bad advice. I own a cart shop, ebay is just one very small portion of online sales, which make up less than 3% of our company. We've been around over a decade and have numerous local awards for best Cart shop. We want to help you make the most educated choices for your cart!
I see these days a large number of "competitors" who are using very busy pictures and slightly modified versions of what I've had posted here for years. Anyone who tells you that 1) heat shrink is not beneficial or 2) that acid is simply going to happen regardless know absolutely nothing about golf carts and their batteries. For the sake of time and length, I'll try and make this short but thorough. Batteries create Hydrogen Sulfide gas (H2S) when charging, it is a byproduct of the chemical reaction that occurs in the cells. That gas has to have somewhere to go. Once of the most common mistakes in the cart world is overfilling the battery water (which is just as bad as never filling it, probably worse) When you overfill the water cavity, you remove the available airspace where that gas would normally accumulate. Since it can no longer stay in the case, it seeps out of the seals that are on the caps of the individual cells. This is why you see what looks like water on the top of the batteries. That is the hydrogen sulfide gas after it has condensed into a fluid and settles on the battery. While it is nonreactive with the plastic, it is quite reactive with the lead posts. Another chemical reaction occurs here which creates blue, green and yellowish white colored battery acid buildup on your posts. This slowly eats at the metal and bit by bit the metal begins to disintegrate. When this happens, the nut on the cable becomes loose over time and begins to arc. This process of arcing will cause a battery post to have a "meltdown" over time. If this same process is allowed into the joint of your cable where it meets the lug, it will eat the connection of the cable inside the lug that attaches to the battery. It does not matter if you have soldered joint, a crimped joint or a soldered and crimped joint, chemical reactions will occur. A quality heat shrink keeps this from happening by keeping the H2S out of the joint. All of our cables use a quality heat shrink, but we also offer an adhesive lined upgrade which will not be penetrated unless allowed to literally swim in corrosion for extended periods of time. The simple key to avoiding all this is to not overfill your batteries. Your water level should be 1/4 to 3/8ths of an inch from the top of the lead cells. Yes, this does require you to check your water monthly to make sure you don't run below the cells, but it will also lead to a lifetime with ZERO corrosion issues and can extend the lifespan of your battery pack. Batteries are expensive, the single highest cost to own part of a cart with a finite lifespan bar none. Take some advice from a guy who owns a golf cart shop, protect your investment. And please remember, my cable kits are of the highest quality using only premium cable, lugs and silver solder. You can find cheaper cables on ebay, but you won't find the quality of service or level of product that I offer anywhere else. My 100% positive rating speaks for itself. I sell the highest quality cable with the best after the sale service in the market, bar none.
If you would like your cables with red and black heat shrink for quick battery pole identification this is available for free, just mention it in the notes at checkout. (as seen in last photo) Blue, Black, green, red and yellow cable colors available. Last two pictures are representative of options and are not part of this set.
