EZGO TXT Series 36V 2 Gauge Welding Wire Blue Battery Cable HD Tinned Copper Lug

Description

One set of thirteen 2 gauge battery cables for EZGO TXT Series 36volt cart with Six 6 (6x6) volt battery setup.  These wires are made from premium 2 gauge welding wire.  The lugs are solid copper 5/16 size with "tinned" plating and are silver soldered using high quality silver solder designed specifically for electronic use.  3/8 lugs are available upon request (these will be 5/16th's drilled out to 3/8ths)  These cables are large enough to handle the big performance carts using high amperage controllers and motors but will also work great on stock carts.  Using larger gauge cable creates a path of less resistance for your batteries to get power to your motor.  Less resistance means less heat which translates into longer life and better performance.  Your battery cables are the foundation of your carts drive system.  New batteries with poor quality cables will work far hader to achieve the same results and sometimes can suffer catastrophic meltdowns.  Don't chance your investment in your batteries by skimping on the cables!  There are a small number of series systems that use a 14th cable.  That cable can be included for a small extra fee.  That cart is relatively rare so count your cables if your cart is older than 2000 and a series system to see before you order.
You do not have to read below.  It is free advice about some newer sellers that seem to have modeled their listings off mine but give very bad advice.  I own a cart shop, ebay is just one very small portion of online sales, which make up less than 3% of our company.  We've been around over a decade and have numerous local awards for best Cart shop.  We want to help you make the most educated choices for your cart!
I see these days a large number of "competitors" who are using very busy pictures and slightly modified versions of what I've had posted here for years.  Anyone who tells you that 1) heat shrink is not beneficial or 2) that acid is simply going to happen regardless know absolutely nothing about golf carts and their batteries.  For the sake of time and length, I'll try and make this short but thorough.  Batteries create Hydrogen Sulfide gas (H2S) when charging, it is a byproduct of the chemical reaction that occurs in the cells.  That gas has to have somewhere to go.  Once of the most common mistakes in the cart world is overfilling the battery water (which is just as bad as never filling it, probably worse)  When you overfill the water cavity, you remove the available airspace where that gas would normally accumulate.  Since it can no longer stay in the case, it seeps out of the seals that are on the caps of the individual cells.  This is why you see what looks like water on the top of the batteries.  That is the hydrogen sulfide gas after it has condensed into a fluid and settles on the battery.  While it is nonreactive with the plastic, it is quite reactive with the lead posts.  Another chemical reaction occurs here which creates blue, green and yellowish white colored battery acid buildup on your posts.  This slowly eats at the metal and bit by bit the metal begins to disintegrate. When this happens, the nut on the cable becomes loose over time and begins to arc.  This process of arcing will cause a battery post to have a "meltdown" over time.  If this same process is allowed into the joint of your cable where it meets the lug, it will eat the connection of the cable inside the lug that attaches to the battery.  It does not matter if you have soldered joint, a crimped joint or a soldered and crimped joint, chemical reactions will occur.  A quality heat shrink keeps this from happening by keeping the H2S out of the joint.  All of our cables use a quality heat shrink, but we also offer an adhesive lined upgrade which will not be penetrated unless allowed to literally swim in corrosion for extended periods of time.  The simple key to avoiding all this is to not overfill your batteries.  Your water level should be 1/4 to 3/8ths of an inch from the top of the lead cells.  Yes, this does require you to check your water monthly to make sure you don't run below the cells, but it will also lead to a lifetime with ZERO corrosion issues and can extend the lifespan of your battery pack.  Batteries are expensive, the single highest cost to own part of a cart with a finite lifespan bar none.  Take some advice from a guy who owns a golf cart shop, protect your investment.  And p
lease remember, my cable kits are of the highest quality using only premium cable, lugs and silver solder.  You can find cheaper cables on ebay, but you won't find the quality of service or level of product that I offer anywhere else.  My 100% positive rating speaks for itself.  I sell the highest quality cable with the best after the sale service in the market, bar none.
*I have included a photo of a rollover that happened to one of my customers.  The reason I include this is to show the strength of the cables and the benefit of having such strong cables.  These batteries were ejected when the factory battery hold downs failed.  With cheap cables, the batteries would have be thrown all around and acid would have gone everywhere.  But the strength of the cables kept the battery pack together which keeps the passengers safer in the case of a rollover event like this.  This is not a feature I recommend trying by any means, however this shows the true strength of good soldered cables over crimped units.  And if you're wondering, the driver walked away unharmed and after inspecting them, the cables were determined to be undamaged and were reused.*
