Why You Need to Use EWCS 2/0 Marine Battery Cables for Your Boat

Electronic setups on marine equipment are subjected to more sources of possible degradation than any other class of vehicle. The battery, cables and terminals are constantly exposed to extreme temperatures, non-stop vibration and movement, and volatile chemicals all while being surrounded by electricity’s and metals worst enemy, mineral rich water. EWCS 2/0 marine battery cable is specifically designed to perform perfectly and consistently under this intense environment.

Flexibility Is a Major Feature of EWCS 2/0 Marine Battery Cables

Pliability may not be the most obvious attribute you look for in marine battery cables, but it is essential for the longevity of any cable in the hull or an aquatic vehicle. The flexibility of EWCS 2/0 marine battery cable creates various advantages over lower quality cables.

The most obvious benefit is evident during the initial installation of the battery cables. Marine hulls are cramped, especially personal watercrafts, and trying to manipulate stiff cables around the tightly packed components is a hassle; flexible cables are much easier to adjust and connect. The second and most important advantage is that flexible marine battery cables can absorb and withstand the non-stop vibrations coming from the engine and rhythmic pounding of the boat moving over waves. Rigid battery cables will begin to lose integrity after continuous exposure to these minute movements.

EWCS 2/0 Marine Battery Cables Are Protected From the Harmful Effects of Water

You do not need an advanced degree in chemistry or mechanical engineering to know that water, especially salt water, is not good for metal cables. It only makes sense that our 2/0 marine rated battery cables are manufactured to withstand the damaging effects of water.

The polymer jacket encasing the wires is obviously waterproof and is responsible for the majority of the cable’s protection. However, we took an extra step to ensure our marine battery cables will not let you down even under wet conditions. The copper strands composing the 2/0 marine battery cables are fully tinned. This process coats the conductor wires in a less reactive metal. This means that even if your wire is exposed through breaks in the jacket or at terminals, it will not be corroded.

The 2/0 Marine Battery Cable Jacket Can Stand up to the Corrosive Materials in a Boat's Interior

Advanced wire formulation isn’t enough for us; we also use a high-quality EPDM polymer jacket for the 2/0 marine battery cables. This synthetic rubber is flexible and abrasion resistant. More importantly, it is also resistant to a variety of corrosive chemicals commonly found in a marine vehicle's bay like acids, alkalis, gasoline, moisture and oil. It is also rated to withstand temperatures as high as 105C, so that the heat produced by the motor is not an issue.

Spend more time having fun on the water instead of repairing inferior marine battery cables. Make sure your marine equipment electronics are always properly powered by upgrading to 2/0 marine battery cables from our online store.
