  • Dredge of an old question...

    I'd like to make my own extension cable for my Optimate 4 motorcycle battery charger.

    I need 16 SWG cable and would like it to be UV / weather proof (the connectors will be protected from the weather).

    It must be black.

    I'm finding lots of speaker cable in search results e.g. Auline 10m 1.3mm2 16 AWG Red Black Speaker Cable External Outside Outdoor Use

    Is this a viable choice?

    Cheers.

  • Optimate do extensions to help people route around garage/workshop etc - recent discovery via my moto client who also didn’t know about it, we immediately bought a load

  • Yeah, I've just noticed they do a 7.6m. I thought 4.6m was the longest, and x2 ends up a bit more than I wanted to spend.

    Last time I looked it was c.£1p/m for 16AWG.
