You should be able to just buy the lengths of that wire at most hardware stores. I got that same setup. I just hard wired the leads to my battery on my truck and bolted the plug part just inside my grill on my truck. I used a 3500 lb. electric winch to lift my snow plow, so I had to have some kind of quick disconnect for putting it on and taking it off. These plugs work perfect for that. I've had it on there now for the past 10 years with no problems yet!
Looks like the cables are actually 4 gage wire and the connectors are 4/0. 4 gage = .2043 and 4/0 = .460 If the jumpers were 8 gage they would be 1/8 inch. Looks closer to 1/4.
NEVER solder high current wires as excessive current will create heat and melt solder and pull apart. ALWAYS crimp first then solder if not confident with the crimp.
How did this jumper setup work for you ? I just purchased the energizer jumper set for an 8000lb. Ramsey. I also want to be able to move the winch around. Please let me know how it worked out Great job by the way.
Limited Edition I’m pleased with the setup. If I would do it again I would buy a heavier gauge wire at the hardware store. I feel like there is some power loss with a cable that long and size.
Thanks much. I appreciate the reply. My kit is on the way. My concern was the gator clip. I reckon all is good as long as they don't slip off the battery terminals and ground out. Thanks again.
Those are 4 gauge wire and you dont need crimpers to crimp just put the cable in it and place on hard surface and smack with a fucking hammer and the use heat shrink tubing to make water tight along with battery sealer spray
Homer I have been wanting to do the same thing for a while now, but here is why I’m hesitant to do it this way. The gauge wire on the winch is 6gauge and if you get a larger jumper cable I would have been told that you do not want to have two different size wires connected together and cause a fire. Example if you get a larger jumper cable guage and the winch wire is only 6 gauge it’s my understanding that is not good? I’ve always been taught learned that you have to use the same size wire connected to each other you don’t want to have a larger gauge wire connected to the smaller gauge wire.
Nice vid. I dug deep into a forum once where a hand full of "electrical engineers" proclaimed that you shouldn't solder cable connectors this large because under a high amp load the solder will crack causing poor conduction that would get worse over time. Just curious if you have experienced anything like this? Thanks in advance.
you're so much better off soldering connectors like this. Water and other elements get into crimped connectors and cause them not to conduct even when they pass the tug test.
The alternative is dip the stripped cable end in silicone "tuneup" grease which excludes water (small packets are often sold with spark plug wires). www.permatex.com/products/lubricants/specialty-lubricants/permatex-dielectric-tune-up-grease-4/ Nearly every US auto store carries it. Good for battery terminals too.
Your connector looked likes a, 120 AMP or 172 AMP housing with the, 2 AWG or 1/0 AWG contact's: These connector's were designed for jumper cable's so your cable wire is, 4 AWG: Oh for everyone "AWG" stand's for "Automotive Wire Gauge": And I bet you got your's from "Del City"-----Please let me know if I'm right about Del City, Thank You.
Steven Sargent the connectors I ordered were specifically 4 awg that's why I figured the wire was smaller than 4. Also Awg stands for American wire gauge- not automotive.

I just installed a winch on my trailer and I was wondering how to make a connection like you have here. Thanks very much for the schooling. Good job

Perfect. I bought the heavier cables and Anderson connectors. This’ll help me with power front or back or trailering. Thx
You got a vice there perfect to crimp it 🙂
Thank you for the Harbor Freight winch videos Brett they helped out a lot!

Could one simply use jumper cables uncut with the clamps still on and connect to winch and battery or is that a no no.
I would imagine that would work.

I have 6ga wire on mine two winches 5000&10000 work trailer and truck powered by 2300 generator and a battery charger!
NEVER solder high current wires as excessive current will create heat and melt solder and pull apart. ALWAYS crimp first then solder if not confident with the crimp.
If heat is so high to melt solder, there are other problems!
Awesome
Are these waterproof at the connection point?
No

I bought 0 gauge wire from Amazon
What gauge wire should I use? I wanna hook my utility trailer up to my truck battery when I use it.

You don't work in the industry do you?

Nothing yet. I haven't used them a whole lot though.

I ordered them on Amazon from a place called Jc cherry inc.
On the DC side the A stood for both, and some people use both like me.
AWG does not stand for automotive wire gauge

Thank you!!! I needed that....whew boy...good laugh.
