Battery Cable Builders Kit

Motorcycle batteries, chargers and cable help you to jump start you motorcycle and ensure excellent performance for years.

Battery cable size depends on where the battery will be located and mounted to the body frame.

Kit allows you to custom build battery cables to the exact length required to get fit in the frame.

The clear coated ultra-flexible 4 gauge cable features 1,661 individual tin coated copper strands for maximum current flow.

The finished cables not only look great on custom built motorcycles, we highly recommend them for high compression engines.

Motorcycle batteries, especially during winters in cold areas, tend to receive little attention for long periods of time. If these batteries “die” and sit for a long time in this condition, they become permanently ruined. If this occurs, they must be replaced by a new battery.

• Open the motorcycle’s seat and set it in a clean place.
• Remove the plastic battery cover (located just in front of the gas tank) by sliding it out.
• If a battery is currently located in the slot, remove it by unscrewing its two connection posts with a phillips screwdriver. Then, unlatch the rubber holding strap on top of the battery, and slide the battery out. Make sure to dispose of it legally.

Maintaining the charge for your motorcycle battery is important to extending the life of the battery as well as saving you money on a replacement.

Motorcycle batteries require low-current charging because of their small size. Therefore, it is important to select the correct charger to match your motorcycle battery. Using a regular battery charger can be dangerous and will likely ruin your motorcycle battery

Refer to the owner’s manual to assist with getting access to your battery. The location of the battery and how it is accessed varies by make and model.

Remove the caps over the chambers and fill with distilled water. The caps will remain off during the charging process.

Plug the charger into the electrical socket prior to connecting the cables to the battery. Once plugged in, connect the positive clip of the battery charger to the positive terminal on the battery. Next, connect the negative clip of the battery charger to the negative terminal on the battery.

Turn on the charger and select the charge rate you desire (either 2, 4 or 6 amp). Depending on the power level of the battery, it may be necessary to charge the battery for up to 24 hours.

When the battery is fully charged, turn the charger off and disconnect the positive and negative clips from the battery terminals. Replace the chamber caps and replace the battery on the motorcycle.
