Jumper cable amp rating

Natakot na ko sa battery ko :nerves:

Hahaha! Grave talwaga as in risen from the grave.
Kung meron palang makiki- jumper sa iyo kasi nadiskarga ang baterya niya,
tapos sasabihin mo sa kanya "O SIGE. PERO GANITO ANG GAWIN MO HA"
sabay bigay sa kanya nitong "veeerrrryyyy lomg list of safe procedures"...

Kamot sigurado siya ng ulo sabay sabing "eh sir, manual pala sasakyan ko, itutulak ko na lang". :hysterical:

pag pinasunod ko sa tao namin ang step-by-step procedure na yan baka ihagis nila sa mukha ko ang mga kable

hahaha

so next time suot ka ng hazmat suit before handling a tiny car battery

^ Seriously, safety goggles with ANSI Z87.1 should suffice.

I wear this everytime i work with engine, underchasis, carpentry, and even target shooting.

Last time i was moving a container of used paint and thinner, it exploded to my face (pressure buildup). Without the googles, i dont know if could still see right now.

Natakot na ko sa battery ko :nerves:

kailangang bang i-jumper ulit baterya mo cat?

kaya minsan natatawa ako sa mga thread dito, jumper cable question should have not reached a 2nd page. simple lang naman, kung mahina jumper, let it run 5 mins or 10mins kung hindi pa rin start. I personally use gauge 4 power cables, walang clamp na. ilang beses ko na ginamit, walang problema.


o teka baka ipabili ako rubber gloves to satisfy the theory of sparks etc.

Specific data kasi gusto malaman ng TS, while yung nasa market na jumper cables are too good to be true.

How do you make connection to the batteries without the clamps, you undo the terminal screws and insert, or its a 3-man job? You can actually jumpstart without the use of cables, just lift the slave battery and poke the terminals together. Risky thou as acids could spill, thats when you will be needing the nitrile gloves.

Napaisip tuloy ako, my newly acquired jumper cable for my van might be as useless as some others have mentioned (like umiinit lang, or just what happened to Cath). My jumper in my truck is AC Delco brand and it served me well (was able to jumpstart a cousins car and few neighbors), but what if i need to jumper larger vehicles. Baka sumablay din.

Got some spare welding cables and now Im thinking of fabricating my own. Hmmm.

just a one man job, wrap around the terminal. wala pa 5secs, start na.

Mahirap wrap around for me, lalo na mabilisan.

I checked my new booster cable. It has no UL 1839 but has safety labels. The crimps are good but i have to solder the exposed strands.

Alongside is my sample welding wire, notice how big it is.. It got many strands too.

25mm2, thats somewhere around AWG3. Almost same size na ng mains battery cable of small cars.

15feet, no clamps yet.


As compared to

12ft


Almost thrice the weight.

Will do this as weekend project.
