Re: Question before I order new battery cables

Like fan belts, battery cables can be ordered by length and cable size. I used AC Delco site to look up that 411 for the cables I bought. #2 side post type. They were not much $ on Amazon. I use a side post 78 series battery. IMHO a cleaner look vs top post

This is what I got

- $21 ACDelco Professional 2SD35X Battery Cable
+ $35 ACDelco Professional 2SD43XG

I did need to swap the post on + cable as it was too long. I assume that whatever vehicle specific application that cable is for uses an additional + cable secured with the longer stud. $1 to buy standard length battery stud

Depending on your desired routing path, just measure that length and look up the cable by # (i,e, 2SD= 2 gauge, 35X=35", G= insulation)

Nothing wrong with rolling your own if you buy parts. Need a good crimp tool, shrink tube
