Hey guys,
These cables are on my current build. I want to relocate my Battery, so I need these types of cables but now made in different lengths.
Does anyone know where I can order something like these? These seems like very nice heavy duty cables, and I do not want to make these myself. Thank you!

Those terminals look to be reusable. iI they are, then it's easy. Just remove them and reuse them on the new cables. If that is metal woven cable over your cables, I would remove it for safety reasons. It's OK if it's plastic. Another suggestion would be to buy 6 Volt battery cables. They will be bigger (thicker?) but will carry more current than the 12 volt ones you want to replace. The reason to do this is you are making a longer run and need the bigger gauge cable to compensate for the increased length. Oh, and use grommets whenever you pass the cable thru metal or fiberglass........Bruce
@MichalM, I bought a couple of sets of custom made battery wires from these two guys on eBay a few years ago. Both were great quality, price and very flexible.
Local welding supply stores have several sizes of fine-strand welding cable in sizes appropriate for your needs. The fine strands allow much more flexibility in the cable, although they’re more expensive.
Another place to get battery cables cut to length and end terminals crimped on would be an auto parts store like NAPA.
www.batterycablesusa.com . Great quality and price. You spec what you want...
How far are you relocating it? When I moved my Spyder’s battery from the engine compartment to the frunk, I bought 25’ of red welding cable on Amazon and put my own ends on it once I had run my through my frame tube. The ground I just ran to the beam up front.
After Carey warned me about the self-taping screws in the tube, (that hold the floor on) I put split wrap on it to protect it. (Probably overkill, but still)
