Ancor Black 1/0 AWG Battery Cable 100-Foot

The Ancor Black 1/0 AWG Battery Cable is tinned copper with Type 3 ultra-flexible stranding, in a 100-foot length.

One aught sits below 2/0 in the battery cable range, and the gauge choice comes from current and run length together. A short run at high current and a long run at moderate current can need the same size. Working from an ampacity table with the actual distance is what avoids both undersizing and paying for copper that does nothing.

Tinned copper strands protect against corrosion and electrolysis in damp and saltwater environments. Untinned cable corrodes from the cut ends inward, and the failure shows up as a hot connection rather than an open circuit.

Ultra-flexible Type 3 stranding improves routing through tight battery compartments and tolerates vibration and repeated movement. Ancor states the cable exceeds UL 1426, ABYC and applicable US Coast Guard charter-boat standards, with insulation rated 600V, 105°C dry and 75°C wet. Explore more battery cable.
