{"product_id":"sea-dog-2-awg-battery-cable-black-25-ft-tinned-copper","title":"Sea-Dog 2 AWG Black Battery Cable, 25 ft Tinned Copper Spool","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eSea-Dog's 2 AWG battery cable gives you a heavy-gauge, tinned-copper run for your boat's DC power and battery connections. It comes as a 25-foot spool with no terminals attached, so you cut it to length and crimp the lugs your install needs. Black jacket, UL listed and ABYC certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're running power from the battery bank to a windlass, an inverter, a bow thruster, or the main distribution panel, you want cable that can carry the current without heating up or dropping voltage. This is Sea-Dog's 2 AWG battery cable. Two gauge is a heavy conductor, sized for the high-amperage DC runs where thin wire just won't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductor is tinned copper. That matters on the water. Bare copper corrodes when salt air and moisture get to it, and corrosion means resistance, heat, and eventually a connection that fails right when you need it. The tin coating on every strand slows that down and keeps the cable conducting cleanly for years. It's the difference between a run you install once and one you're back fixing next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get a 25-foot spool. This is bulk cable, supplied without terminals, so you cut exactly the length your install calls for and crimp on the lugs that fit your posts and studs. No wasted cable, no fighting a pre-made length that's too short or too long. If you rig your own boat, that's how you want to buy heavy cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is black. Black is the standard color for negative and ground runs, so keeping your negatives black and your positives red keeps the whole system readable for the next person who opens the panel, including future you. Good color discipline pays off when you're troubleshooting at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is UL listed and ABYC certified, so it meets the standards marine electrical work is held to. If you're doing a battery upgrade, adding a second bank, wiring in a big inverter, or just replacing tired old cable that's gone green at the ends, this is the gauge and the quality you want. Crimp it clean, heat-shrink the ends, and it'll carry current quietly for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 AWG (2 gauge) conductor sized for high-amperage battery and DC power runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper strands resist corrosion in the salt-air marine environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25-foot bulk spool, cut to the exact length your install needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack jacket, the standard color for negative and ground runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied without terminals so you crimp the lugs your setup calls for\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL listed and ABYC certified for marine electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat gauge is this cable?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 2 AWG (2 gauge), a heavy conductor sized for high-amperage battery and DC power runs like windlasses, inverters, and main power feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the copper tinned?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
