This has been Hashed......<br />And,<br />ReHashed here on the boards..........<br /><br />In My Opinion,<br />Welding Cable, in "O", or "OO" is the Absolute Best Battery Cable that money will buy............<br />Bar None.... In ANY Application......<br /><br />It carries Almost No Resistence....<br />The Casing is Bullet Proof.....<br />With Well Crimped Ends, There Just is No Better.........<br />

a tinned marine cable is less prone to internal corrosion. that being said, i am using 00 napa car cables and my engine gets doused with saltwater about every time i go out.
