Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists Battery Cable Wire is Number One

The key turns but the engine won’t turn over. It’s a common problem but sometimes it’s not caused by a dead battery. Sometimes it’s caused by a bad battery cable. Not the first thing you think of but when it’s not the battery, it’s usually the battery cable that is failing.

Upgrade To the Best Battery Cable Wire Available
Battery cables wear out over time due to moisture, acids, oils, corrosives and a dozen other reasons. Occasionally, it is the copper wire inside the plastic sheath that has aged or been twisted resulting in a break of some or all of the stranded wires inside. Regardless of the reason, it’s a good idea to put in a better quality cable than the one that failed. That’s where Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists (EWCS) comes into the picture.


Made in the USA
Products made in the USA are, in many cases, built to a higher standard than products manufactured offshore in China or India. That’s because when it says “Made in the USA” American consumers expect more. American manufacturers expect more too. EWCS manufactures all their cable and wire products in the USA for that very reason. High quality design and engineering demand high quality construction and no one knows that better than EWCS.

Built Right from End to End
Engineering and manufacturing products in the USA is one thing but building them out of USA-sourced materials is another. At EWCS, only pure copper sourced in the United States is used to make EWCS Battery Cable Wire. That way, there are no nicks or cracks in the copper to shorten its life or reduce its conductivity.

More Features That Make Sense
EWCS manufactures its Battery Cable Wire to resist oils, gasoline, corrosive chemicals, moisture, and damage from cutting by using a high-strength EPDM Rubber insulation. The battery cable is able to handle up to 600 volts, which is more than most automotive and commercial battery cables. The battery cable can handle temperatures from -58 degrees Fahrenheit (-50 degrees Celsius) to 221 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).

Flexible for Easy Installation
Made with the purest copper and a highly-flexible insulation/jacket the EWCS battery cable is designed and manufactured to be highly flexible making it much easier to install in those tight, closed-off areas or around sharp corners and contours. By making the battery cable more flexible, it is usable in more applications than many competitor’s products.

The Popular Sizes and Accessories for Battery Cable Wire
EWCS offers their Battery Cable Wire in 2 gauge, 4 gauge, and 6 gauge sizes. All of which can conduct 600 volts and are available in lengths from 10 feet to 250 feet. They are also available in the standard colors of red and black. All of the necessary accessories are also available including adhesive-lined shrink wrap, terminals, and connectors. Just go to www.ewcswire.com or call 800-262-1598 to discover a whole universe of cable and wire products. You can also email EWCS at sales@ewcswire.com to get questions answered.

Better Deals For the Best Products
Value is on everyone’s mind nowadays and EWCS knows how to create better value by offering Free Shipping on orders over $40 (in the continental US) as well as volume discounts for large orders. Selling factory direct to customers has kept EWCS in business since 1994 and that’s how they save money for their customers. Slide in some nice discounts for first-time buyers and you’ve got the complete package from Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists.

Common Questions About Security and Alarm Cables, Answered

Not sure which type of security or alarm cable your facility or system needs? Hopefully, these answers to common questions can help! What cable is used for alarm systems? Security and alarm systems are usually wired with small-gauge wire specifically designed for the purpose. For instance, many security systems are wired with 12 and 18 AWG gauge alarm wire, as these low-voltage applications do not necessarily require larger, heavier wires. However, larger or wire gauges may be required depending on the circumstances. Also, there are some unique requirements for some systems. For instance, fire alarm cables must be made with specific insulation that is heat resistant and which does not produce toxic smoke when burned. What gauge cable do you need for alarm systems? Only your specific system requirements can answer that question, but often large wire gauges (that is, smaller wires) are used as security and alarm cables because of the low-voltage, low-current application. What is ...

Wire Voltage Ratings, Explained

Voltage rating is one of the most basic, fundamental ratings associated with electrical wire and cable, given in volts. Voltage itself is a measurement of electrical potential, calculated by multiplying a given electrical current (in amperes, I), by the resistance of a conductor, (in ohms, Ω). The material of the conductor, as well as the thickness, will all impact resistance. These things, being variables from which voltage is drawn, affect voltage rating. Think of voltage as the force “pushing” the electricity through a wire or cable, similar to how plumbing pipes experience line pressure, except that line pressure is measured in PSI instead of volts. Just like with water pipes, it is essential never to exceed the voltage rating of a given conductor - but instead of a burst pipe, exceeding the voltage rating of an electrical conductor can cause overheating, fires, and an elevated risk of dangerous electrical shock. But what exactly is a wire’s voltage rating? ...

Buying Quality Marine Electrical Wire

When it comes to wiring in marine environments, you have to start with a new set of rules. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has its own set of guidelines that differ significantly from wiring in terrestrial applications. Before you start your next marine wiring project, it’s important to reference these guidelines to ensure you are using the proper marine electrical wire and proper terminal connections to avoid the possibility of potentially catastrophic electrical failure. Knowing what to look for before you purchase your wire can help ensure that your boat is wired safely. Marine environments have to deal with a lot of movement. Between the gentle rocking that experienced in your dock or harbor to the violent jarring when cutting through the waves, boats almost never standstill. Because of all this movement, it’s crucial to have flexible cables that can move without cracking their insulation or coming disconnected. In order to achieve this level of flexibility, marin...
