    Description

    One set of seven 2 gauge battery cables for EZGO 36 volt series cart with standard 6 six (6x6) volt battery setup.  These wires are made from premium 2 gauge welding wire.  The connectors are 2 x 3/8 tinned solid copper lugs. I don't use cheap connectors on my big gauge wires!  Make sure you don't get the big gauge wire with crappy little connectors like so many here on eBay do!  Also, some sellers claim that cables don't come with heat shrink from the factory and thus argue that they shouldn't have it.  Well, that is because the factory uses open end crimp style lugs.  They do this as it is cheaper!  I use closed end cables that are designed specifically for soldered cables.  After soldering, the heat shrink seals the cable and keeps corosion out!  Anybody who says not using heat shrink is better, or that crimping is better is not well educated in battery cable technology!! This set includes "tinned" lugs. Bare copper lugs can be added to the price at .50 cent each.....since there are 7 wires there are 14 connectors so bare copper would be an additional total on top of auction price! Each wire is made custom in my golf cart shop by me.  Each one is soldered using silver solder connections, and then sealed with quality heat shrink to help prevent future corrosion issues.  There are 7 wires included; Four (4) seven inch cables, One (1) 12 inch cable, one (1) 28" and one (1) 36".   The 28" and 36" are your main positive and negative battery connections. Other sellers are selling longer cables for the same setup......so they can charge you more.  Welding wire is commonly sold by the foot, so the longer the wire you buy the higher the price. Your factory EZGO cables are made as short as possible, why make them longer?  More wire means the current has to run through greater resistance in order to reach its final destination, your motor.  The reason we upgrade from the factory 6 gauge is to get better flow with less resistance to get the best possible results in battery life, and to increase potential speed and torque......why make your battery pack work harder sending the current through more wire and greater resistance???  I build custom carts all day long.  I service all makes and models, all day long.  I always use the shortest possible battery cables for many reasons, but the two main reasons are 1) to save my customer money 2) to help maintain quality battery pack lifespan and function.  If you need or want a different size, just ask and I can custom make you a set of any length you desire.  I have sets for all battery configurations, and for controller to motor or controller to solenoid or for all power wires in the cart power system.  I will include a diagram for the battery configuration in this auction to aid you in your install, should you forget which wires go where and I am always available via email for assistance in installation.  Any questions just ask!  Shipping will be via USPS Flat rate envelope, which I include FREE! You will have your wires in 3 days or less in 99% of orders.  Try to get shipping that fast from the cheapest sellers on here, it won't happen!!  Check out the pictures to see the quality!
    You also get my full support should you need help via email with my cables.  And my customers get the type of service I'd expect from vendors I deal with.  If something goes awry, I'll make it right, period.
    You do not have to read below.  It is free advice as to the large number of newer sellers who seem to have used my listings as a model to write theirs.  Many have goofy pictures and bad advice.
    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.*
