What do we mean by Battery cable assemblies?

Pacer Group Battery Cable Assemblies

Battery cable assemblies are short lengths of battery cable that have been terminated on both ends with heavy-duty connectors in order to connect one or more batteries to an electrical system. They can vary wildly in their length but usually range from twelve inches to about forty-eight inches in length. While some manufacturers only offer battery cable assemblies in one or two gauge sizes, Pacer offers them in everything from four gauge (4 AWG) to four aught (4/0 AWG). This means that you can get the sizes that you need regardless of their diameter. You may be asking yourself; “why would I ever need pre-made assemblies?”.

Why would you want to use pre-made assemblies?

Pre-made assemblies save you all the hassle that comes with manufacturing your own battery cable assemblies. Think about this for a minute. In order to make your own assemblies, you would need, battery cable, connectors, heat shrink, cable cutters, strippers, crimpers, heat tools, and time. You would need a place to store all of these items as well as a space to manufacture the assemblies themselves. That sounds like a lot of work. It makes more sense to trust a company that has decades of experience in making them. Especially when you can order them for cheaper than it costs to manufacture them yourself. Pre-made assemblies are literally the smartest decision. Save time and money and get exactly what you are looking for the first time. I bet you are now wondering; “How do they make them?”.

How are battery cable assemblies made?

Battery cable assemblies are covered with epoxy lined heat shrink

Pacer Battery cable assemblies are made by following detailed procedures that leave no room for error. The process starts by selecting the right type of Pacer battery cable that we manufacture in house to ensure the highest level of quality. This cable exceeds industry standards and is designed for durability and longevity. Once the proper battery cable has been selected, it is cut and stripped to the proper length using precision machines. These machines give the exact cut and strip each and every time and help to reduce labor costs and time. Next, the stripped ends of the battery cable are loaded with the proper lug or connector and crimped using a gas-tight compression method. This method is so effective that it actually leaves no room for air to reside and helps ensure the longevity of the connection itself. After this, the battery cable assembly ends are covered by epoxy lined heat shrink. This heat shrink exudes a glue when activated that creates a moisture-proof seal further cementing the long life of the assembly. With this step complete, the battery cable is ready for testing, then it is sent to be packed and shipped directly to the customer. Our battery cable assemblies are built to handle the toughest environments out there and we use our own proprietary battery cable for a reason.

What are some benefits of Pacers Battery Cable?

Pacer battery cable offers a wide range of benefits that include, environmental resistances, flexibility, durability, and longevity. When we developed our battery cable, we knew it would need to be able to handle everything the sea could throw at it. It is for this reason that we made our battery cable resistant to moisture, oil, acid, alkali, flame, abrasion, and gasoline. In this way, you can rest assured that your battery cable is well equipped to tackle the toughest environments out there.

Pacer Group assemblies are flexible

When it comes to flexibility, Pacer sets the bar high. Our battery cable is so flexible that you can literally tie it into a knot without any damage to the internal conductors or the insulation itself. This means that our battery cable is built for all the twists and turns that come with the enclosed area of an engine bay or battery compartment.

Pacer Group assemblies are durable

Durability is essential for battery cable. It will be subject to vibration and constant flux as a boat moves through the water. People think a car engine goes through some punishment, but it is nothing compared to what boat motors must handle daily. Even sitting in a marina or at a dock has its hazards as water rarely sits still. We factored all of this when creating our battery cable and focused on making it as durable as possible.

Pacer group assemblies are long lasting

When you combine the previously mentioned benefits, they add up to equal longevity. Being highly resistant, flexible, and durable ensures a long life from our battery cable. This is why some of the world’s largest boat builders turn to Pacer for our battery cable as well as our battery cable assemblies.

What are some advantages Pacer battery cable assemblies offer?

Pacer battery cable assemblies offer all of the advantages that our battery cable possesses that we mentioned above. Additionally, our battery cable assemblies save you time, money, and labor by removing all the hard work for you. Rather than having to measure out your battery cable, cut it to the right length, strip it, terminate it, and cover it in heat shrink, all you need to do is order it. It is literally that simple. The biggest advantage that our battery cable assemblies offer is that they come pre-made and ready for application. The best part of all of this is that we have the battery cable assembly you are looking for regardless of the type.
