snoot Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I've just got hold of a Exide Maxxima 900 and need to extend the battery cables to fit it. Any ideas on how to do it, so it looks smart? snoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 BUMP!!!! Whats the correct technical way to extend large cables? Junction block or solder? I would guess solder, but its going to be a tough job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Personally, I'd suggest the easiest way without spending a fortune on mahoooosive soldering irons, I would recommend using 4awg cable as a minimum, and use the correct size ring terminals. Then nut & bolt the ring terminals together and insulate the connection, cable tieing it to something sturdy. You can get a proper soldering iron for soldering massive cables, but they cost about £100+ Alternatively, neater and better, but more expensive, replace the cable to the starter motor and the fuse box completely. The cables bolt on to the starter and fusebox. Same with the earth cables. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
