Rigging recommendation

Extension length recommendation for battery cable

Do not exceed the recommended extension length for the battery cable. Otherwise, the elec-
trical system could be damaged or operate improperly.
To extend the length of battery cables, follow the requirements in the tables for battery capacity,
cable size, and ambient temperature.
The maximum total extension length is the total combined length of the positive and negative battery
cables.
Select an extension battery cable and terminal that meet ABYC requirements or the equivalent.
Select the battery stud that is best-suited to the terminal size.
Solder the cable and terminal connections to prevent them from corroding.
