Battery Cable Gage

Post by ocwd »

What is the correct lengths and gage for the M38 battery cables? I did a quick search here and did not come up with anything.

Thanks,

Dave

What is the hole size on the lugs? I found some that are offered with 5/16, 1/2, & 3/8" holes.

If you are referring to the hole size in the soldered/crimped on cable terminal for attaching the cable to the clamp type battery post terminals it is 3/8".
